Sexual Health Dorset is the free contraception and sexual health service for all ages, provided by Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust.
We offer a wide range of confidential services, including STI testing and treatment, contraception (including emergency contraception), PEP, and specialist young people’s services including ChatSexual Health Dorset.
We also offer postal STI testing, treatment and contraception through our digital partner, SH:24.
If you’re at high risk of infection with mpox, gonorrhoea, Hepatitis A or Hepatitis B, you might be offered vaccination against these at your appointment. These vaccines will help protect you and others by reducing the spread of the infections. If you’re under 45, you may be offered HPV vaccination at your appointment.
