Please note that, owing to COVID restrictions, we're currently limited to groups of no more than five at a time.

We offer a range of services available to anyone who lives in the Suffolk area, including free condoms by post.

Our services are delivered in association with Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust and Integrated Contraception and Sexual Health Services (iCaSH).

Order a free HIV self test kit

We are offering free HIV self test kits to people within Suffolk from groups most affected by HIV.

We normally charge £15 for the tests. Providing you live in the qualifying area, you won't be asked for payment at checkout.
