Sexual Health
Services, Support & Clinics.
There's a wide range of services and clinics around Suffolk. (The
same is probably true if you live outside Suffolk). They can be
split into the types below. Most,
but not all, clinics and services will have a confidentiality policy.
In other words everything is kept strictly private. You can ask
if the service has a confidentiality policy and can use another
if you're not happy.
