We offer a mixture of planned appointments and same day access slots.
All of our clinics at Selby Hospital are pre-booked appointments. Please call the central booking line on 01904 721111 to discuss your requirements.
We offer some of our services over the phone, so it may be that you are asked to wait for a call back from a specialist nurse who will ask some questions and advise from the following: • Self- help or over the counter pharmacy treatment • Postal or pick up contraception or treatment • Face to face clinic appointment for STI Testing, examination and or procedure • Advice around how to test for STI’s • Advice to see to GP
We offer dedicated “Test and Go” (TAG) slots for those who have no symptoms but wish to have STI testing.
We have a limited number of face-to-face clinic slots and a limited number of call back slots. Staff on the phones are trying to allocate these slots according to urgency so please give as much information as you can. This is a confidential service.

If you’d like to rearrange your appointment, please call us on 01904 721111. If you’d like to cancel your appointment, please text ‘CANCEL’ to 0798444736 or call us on 01904 721111.
Please note that this text line is not manned; it operates solely for appointment cancellations for users with one appointment only.
The NHS loses 650,000 appointments every month because patients do not attend their appointment (DNA). If patients cancel their appointment instead, we could offer care and treatment to 650,000 more patients every month, over 7 and half million extra every year. Please help us to make every appointment count and let us know as soon as possible ahead of your appointment so that we have time to give the appointment to someone else in need. Please be advised that this applied to both face to face and virtual appointments.

This week is National HIV Testing Week. Your body, your sexual health, your wellbeing – looking after them starts with you. We have the tools to stop HIV: testing, treatment, condoms and PrEP. Each of us can play our part. Be part of the generation that stops HIV.
During HIV Testing Week, you can order a free home testing kit. It's quick, easy, and discreet, and you get your result within just 15 minutes. There's also an option for a lab test. Visit the link for more information - https://freetesting.hiv/.
We offer HIV testing at YorSexual Health as part of our STI screening service. If you miss out or are not eligible for ordering a free home testing kit, you can book into one of our 15 minute Test and Go (TAG) clinics, attend a walk in clinic (see details on our website), or if you're concerned you have STI symptoms, you can book into one of our nurse clinics.

Have you heard of MPox?
MPox is a rare infection most commonly found in parts of central and east Africa. It can look like chickenpox, with the appearance of a rash with blisters, spots, and ulcers. You might also get fever and headaches.
If you have recently travelled to these areas, and had sex whilst you were there, it is important to be aware of the symptoms. If you do have these symptoms, please do not come to clinic without calling us first. The same applies if you had sex with someone who thinks they might have MPox. Please call us and explain that you think you have MPox and we can advise you on the next steps.
If you travelled to these countries but didn't have sex there, it's important to be alert for these symptoms and call NHS 111 for advice if you're worried.
Certain groups can now get vaccinated for MPox. These groups include men who have sex with other men and have multiple partners, those who participate in group sex, or attend sex on premises venues. If you work in a venue, you might also be able to get vaccinated.
There are 12 centres offering vaccinations across the country. We don't offer the vaccine at our clinics, but there are 3 local services that do. Please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/mpox/find-a-mpox-vaccination-site/ for more information and to find your nearest venue.
