We offer the following services which may be beneficial for men, trans or non-binary people who have sex with other men, trans or non-binary people.
STI testing
We offer triple site testing from the throat, bottom (rectum) and urine (urethra).
If you have symptoms, you can attend the clinic for testing. If you have no symptoms, you can order an online test kit by registering to our Personal Health Record (PHR).
HIV & Syphilis testing
We offer HIV and Syphilis testing from a blood sample. You can order a test kit by registering to our Personal Health Record (PHR). If you prefer not to do a home blood test you can call us to arrange an appointment at SHiP or arrange to attend the Trust’s outreach phlebotomy team.

Free condoms
If you live in Plymouth, Devon, Cornwall, Torbay & Gloucester you can access free condoms and lube via our partners at The Eddystone Trust’s Condom Direct Scheme.
PrEP (pre-Post Exposure Prophylaxis) is the term used for HIV medication taken before sex to reduce the risk of HIV infection.
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a 28-day course of anti-HIV tablets taken after sex that could stop you, or someone you’ve had sex with, from getting infected with HIV (for example when a condom has not been used or if it breaks).
