Hamilton Sexual Health is a free-to-all and confidential specialist service for people living in the Waikato.
We aim to give compassionate care without you feeling judged. We know that feeling ashamed or embarrassed about STIs and HIV can cause harm. We want to make it simple for you to get the help you need.
Our focus is to provide sexual health care to those who really need to be seen by us. This means that some people who have a sexual health concern might be advised to see their GP (family doctor), Family Planning or other health care service in the first instance.
We do not offer regular contraceptive services or routine cervical screening - please see your GP Click here for your nearest GP or other primary care provider such as Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa Click here for Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa ( formally Family Planning).
We do not provide sexual dysfunction services such as prescribing for erectile dysfunction – please see your GP or selected pharmacies for this. Click here to find your nearest community pharmacy.
