Sexual health in south London: Minnie Kidd House takes over services from the Streatham Hill clinic - BrixtonBuzz
Description

Minnie Kidd House in south Clapham is the new home for all the sexual health services that were previously available from the Streatham Hill clinic.

Cabinet Member for Healthier Communities, said:

“For STI Awareness Day on 14 January we hoped to raise awareness of sexual health in Lambeth and highlight Minnie Kidd House as the newest clinic in Lambeth.

“All Lambeth sexual health clinics are free and available to everyone, no matter your age, gender, ethnicity or sexuality. Staff at a sexual health clinic will not tell anyone what you discuss without your permission. This includes your GP.”
