HIV Clinic

At the Florey unit we provide ongoing care and support for people living with HIV.

If you are newly diagnosed please contact the clinic on 0118 322 7202 to arrange an appointment. If you are currently receiving care at another clinic and would like to transfer your care please contact the clinic to make an appointment. It would really help us to have your full medical history from your last clinic so please ask them to send us a letter with your medical history.

Our HIV team is made up of HIV doctors, specialist nurses, health advisors and a dietitian. You can speak with any of the team; we offer confidential support, advice and information on all aspects of HIV and treatment to anyone infected or affected by HIV.

Please feel free to contact the clinic, between Monday (except for bank holidays) and Friday, if you have any concerns, queries or questions before your appointment and thereafter.

Health advisors also offer support and advice on HIV and sexual health generally, particularly for issues surrounding partner testing and for checking test results. 

GPs and other providers

If you need advice on HIV please email the HIV doctors team, rbft.triageflorey@nhs.net or please call our reception team on 0118 322 7202

Let's Get to Zero HIV

Get yourself tested and find out more about how you can protect yourself and others from HIV. 

Condoms

Reduce the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is a combination of drugs that may reduce the risk of HIV transmission from sex if you take it within the last 72 hours. 

PrEP

PrEP is a drug you start taking before sex to help prevent HIV transmission; it is 99% effective when taken correctly.

Undetectable = Untransmissible

HIV positive people on treatment with an undetectable viral load can not transmit HIV to anyone. Undetectable = Untransmissible . Knowing your status and being on treatment is an important step to achieving zero transmission.
