Sexual Health Clinic

DESCRIPTION

In the Sexual Health Clinic, we work for the education and promotion of sexual health that improves the quality of life of our participants. We offer tests for detection and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, as well as pre-exposure prophylaxis treatment (PrEP).

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDs)

Our clinic provides orientation and counseling to learn about our participant’s sexual practices and address their needs. We offer clinical services and support to detect and treat STDs, including HIV.

Health education is an essential component of the social, bio, and psychological model that supports our services. It consists of knowledge, strategies, and tactics to facilitate access to relevant information to participants.

Through direct interventions, conferences and talks or through promotional tools, Centro Ararat offers this service as part of its efforts for the experience of primary care of excellence.

Sexual Protection

We offer, free of charge, protection barriers to ensure that each participant has the tools to fully enjoy their sexuality. We provide guidance on the correct use of barriers to ensure that, in addition to pleasurable fun, you are always well protected.

PrEP

What is PrEP?

PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis treatment for HIV. Prophylaxis means prevention or transmission control of an infection or disease. PrEP is a medicine that people at risk for HIV take to prevent getting HIV from sex or injection drug use.

What are some of the side effects of PrEP?

Initially, some people experience an upset stomach or loss of appetite. Others have had minor headaches. These effects are mild and disappear during the first month.

How does PrEP work?

When taken consistently, PrEP reduces the risk of getting the virus up to 99% if combined with the use of condoms and other protection. People using PrEP must commit to taking the medication daily and seeing their doctor every three months for follow-up.

How much does PrEP cost?

Most medical insurance plans are beginning to cover the cost of PrEP. If your medical insurance does not cover the cost or if you don’t have medical insurance, there are patient assistance programs that could help out.
