HIV, PrEP and PEP Advice

Taking care of your health by seeking testing or prevention is a positive and responsible action. We are here to support you with kindness, whatever your results or needs may be.
About this service
The HIV, PrEP, and PEP service in Rutland is dedicated to providing modern, effective tools for HIV prevention and care. Whether you are looking for routine testing to know your status or require preventative medication, the specialist team is here to help. PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is available for those at higher risk of HIV to help them stay negative, while PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is an emergency treatment that must be started within 72 hours of potential exposure to the virus. The clinicians provide a supportive environment where you can discuss your risk factors openly and receive the appropriate medical guidance and prescriptions. Alongside medication, they offer emotional support and clear information about living with HIV, ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect. By combining advanced medical treatment with compassionate advice, the service aims to reduce the impact of HIV in the community and empower individuals to take charge of their health.
How they can help you
They provide HIV testing, risk assessments, prescriptions for PrEP, and emergency 28-day courses of PEP.
