Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria. It is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in Lambeth. If untreated, infection can lead to pain in the testicles, prostate and lower belly. It also can increase the risk of infertility and pregnancy complications.
Lambeth Council wants to know what you think about the move to Minnie Kidd House Sexual Health clinic from the Streatham Hill site. This will ensure that the services provided meet your needs and expectations.
Local authorities have the responsibility to ensure open access sexual health services, providing contraceptives, STI testing and treatment, and sexual health advice.
Lambeth Council is leading a public consultation on a draft sexual and reproductive health and HIV strategy for 2025-2030, which sets out key priorities to strengthen sexual and reproductive health services across five south east London boroughs.
The new draft joint strategy sets out the priorities and goals for improving sexual health and wellbeing across Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Bromley and Bexley, with a focus on prevention and reducing health inequalities.
Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Bromley, and Bexley have some of the most significant sexual health inequalities in London, marked by high rates of HIV and STIs, particularly among young people, MSM, and BME communities. Following user feedback, a major revamp of the region’s Find Sexual Health website aims to improve access to services, providing timely and efficient support to help bridge these gaps.
