Sexual Health Doctor Online — Private STI Advice & Treatment

Yes. After a short, private telehealth consultation, your Clinic Online GP can issue a pathology e-referral for any clinically appropriate STI screen — HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B and C, and herpes where indicated. You attend any Australian pathology collection centre (most are bulk-billed), and your results are sent back to your GP who will contact you directly if treatment or follow-up is needed.

Your consultation, notes and results are stored in a secure, Australian-hosted medical records system and protected by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Only you and your treating Clinic Online GP see the results. Nothing is shared with your partner, family, employer or insurer without your explicit written consent. Australian law does require healthcare providers to report certain notifiable STIs (such as HIV and syphilis) to the state health department, but this is de-identified for public-health surveillance, not shared with your circle.

Yes. After a brief telehealth consultation, your GP can issue an e-script for levonorgestrel (the most common morning-after pill) or ulipristal acetate (EllaOne), which you can collect from any Australian pharmacy immediately. Emergency contraception is most effective within 72 hours of unprotected sex, and some options work up to 120 hours — the earlier, the better. Levonorgestrel is also available directly over the counter without a prescription at most Australian pharmacies.

Yes. After a proper clinical history (covering blood pressure if recently checked, smoking status, migraine history, clot risk and personal preference) your GP can issue an e-script for the combined oral contraceptive pill, the progestogen-only pill ("mini-pill") or the vaginal ring, or refer you to an in-person GP for insertion of an IUD or implant where that is your preference. No subscriptions — one e-script at a time.

Your Clinic Online GP will contact you directly, usually by phone, to explain the result clearly, answer your questions, and arrange the next step. Many STIs (such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea) can be treated with a same-day e-script for antibiotics. Others (such as HIV or syphilis) require specialist review, which your GP will arrange urgently. Partner notification and retesting timelines are also explained clearly so you know exactly what to do.

Yes. Your Clinic Online GP can order the required pathology workup (HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, STI screen, kidney function) and — if eligible and safe — issue an e-script for PrEP. PrEP is listed on the PBS for eligible Australians, which makes it affordable. Ongoing PrEP care requires 3-monthly pathology reviews, which we can arrange through follow-up telehealth consultations.

PEP is time-critical and must be started within 72 hours of exposure — the sooner, the better. It is best accessed directly through a specialist sexual-health clinic, a 24/7 HIV service, or a hospital emergency department, because PEP is usually initiated by a doctor in person. If you think you may have been exposed to HIV, please call the NSW PEP Hotline (1800 PEP NOW / 1800 737 669) or an equivalent service in your state rather than waiting for a telehealth consultation.

Completely private. You connect by video or phone from wherever you feel safe. You can keep your camera off if you prefer. Your GP is AHPRA-registered, bound by strict professional and legal confidentiality obligations, and has had thousands of these conversations before — nothing is going to surprise or embarrass them. The only goal is to get you the right test, the right treatment, and the right peace of mind.
