Men's Sexual Health Clinic in Celts Sauna
Trade is now working with Leicester Royal Infirmary sexual health services at the popular gay men's sauna Celts.
The aim of the service is to allow men to access all the screening expected from a GUM clinic. Men can choose to have a test from the throat, rectal or penis for chlamydia and gonorrhoea. We also offer blood testing for syphilis, HIV, Hep B and a full Hep B vaccination programme.
The service runs on a Tuesday afternoon from 3pm to 7pm, and the openly gay male nurse and health advisor are on hand to provide the tests/vaccinations whilst a Trade member of staff is available for men to talk to about safer sex, information on HIV, STI's, Trade services and encouraging men to test whilst they have services on hand.
The sauna is completely backing the venture with owner Darren saying - "It's important to me that the men who visit the sauna feel that Celts has their good health as well as their enjoyment at heart, I want everyone to know that they can have fun and be safe"
One of the first men who used the Tuesday Celts clinic said - "I would like to say a big thank you to the guys from TRADE. You guys are doing a great service and wish you all the best. If any guys want some confidential advice or check up, then these guys are not to be missed, every Tuesday 3-7pm."
To further support the Tuesday afternoon clinic there is free entry to those men who only wish to visit the clinic and not use other sauna services.
The clinic is in a private room and men can choose how to receive their results to ensure confidentiality.
No appointment is needed, just turn up at the clinic on Tuesdays between 3pm & 7pm.
