These reflect a percentage of the costs based on historical reasoning rather than actual expenditure in those areas.

All our clinics are open access.
However, the three groups mentioned in questions 3-5 are targeted through outreach to:
- Develop and maintain positive relationships with appropriate communities, venues and settings (including Public Sex Environments as appropriate) in order to maintain an appropriate and regular supply of safer sex resources, including agreeing a code of conduct with the venue, specifying commitment to promotion of safer sex behaviours
- Provide condoms accompanied by time-limited behaviour change interventions that reduce risky sexual behaviours and focus on improving sexual health and healthy relationships delivered digitally or face to face
- Promote and encourage regular sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing in line with national guidance
- Provide STI testing, including HIV testing, in appropriate community settings (e.g. sex on premises and public sex environments) with rapid referral links to sexual health services
- Proactively encourage Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and Post Exposure Prophylaxis amongst communities, groups and individuals at higher risk of sexual transmission of HIV
- Promote Hepatitis A and B vaccination and Hepatitis C screening and treatment in those groups most at risk without reliable evidence of vaccination or previous infection, particularly men who have sex with men and signpost to local services
- Signpost and refer people (including those living with HIV) to other sources of local and national support and advocacy services (including, but not limited to clinical care, social care advocacy services, mental health services, welfare rights charities, digital support networks and local peer support networks)
