If you have been diagnosed with HIV, we provide comprehensive outpatient HIV treatment and care in our Durham, Bishop Auckland and Darlington Sexual Health Hubs (GUM) clinics. We offer routine HIV check-ups including blood tests; we provide HIV treatment; and we offer annual cervical screening and flu vaccination for all patients living with HIV. We run a specialist HIV pharmacist clinic and we can refer patients into our specialist HIV psychology service.  We also have close links with members of the social work service who have responsibility for people living with HIV.

Our HIV patients are usually seen by one of our consultants and we may also involve our nurses and health advisors in your care.

We do not run specific HIV clinics - our patients are welcome to book an appointment within any of our Sexual Health Hubs which we find helps to maximise your confidentiality. If you need to have monitoring bloods done, it is helpful if you can book a morning appointment, as several samples need to reach the laboratory within particular time limits.

If you need help or advice in between appointments, we are happy to hold telephone consultations - please contact our reception team and we can telephone you back at a convenient time.
