In England the largest proportion of new Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) diagnosis is amongst the 15-24 year old age group, with Chlamydia being the most common STI in Young People in Hammersmith and Fulham.

At 10 Hammersmith Broadway we offer a free, friendly and confidential walk-in service every day during opening hours for all under 18's. You do not need an appointment. The service is run by non-judgmental staff members who are used to dealing with sensitive issues.

We offer the following services:

• Testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs)
• HIV tests
• Emergency contraception and pregnancy testing
• Contraception
• Free condoms
• Hepatitis B vaccinations for at-risk individuals
• HPV vaccination catch up for those not previously vaccinated at school up to the age of 25
• PrEP, PrEP is short for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It involves taking pills containing the drugs Tenofovir and Emtricitabine to protect you from catching HIV. The treatment needs to be started before sex. It works really well if taken correctly. Taking PrEP before being exposed to HIV means there's enough drug inside you to block HIV if it gets into your body. Please see PrEP section on our website for further information
• We offer advice to YP who may be worried or questioning their sexual identity, their gender identity or just want to ask questions
• Sexual health advice and counselling (please note, we can refer you to counselling but do not offer counselling in-house)
• Information and advice for anyone who has been sexually assaulted/abused

It is not necessary to bring your parents or an adult with you, but it can be helpful if you are under 16. If you do wish to bring an adult with you, they do not have to be in the room when you have your consultation - it's your choice.

We do not routinely let your GP or anyone else know about your visit or your personal information.
