Confidential Sexual Health Care for Travelers
Sexual health concerns while traveling can't wait until you're home — and shouldn't. Everything here is handled in a private room by a clinician, records stay confidential, and nothing appears on any shared itinerary or receipt beyond "consultation" unless you ask for detail for insurance.
HIV PEP — Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
If you had a possible HIV exposure (unprotected sex, needle, assault) within the last 72 hours — this is time-critical. PEP must start within 72h, ideally under 24h. Come in immediately; we assess the exposure, start the 28-day antiretroviral course, and provide follow-up testing schedule. No judgment, complete confidentiality.
HIV PrEP — Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
For travelers with ongoing exposure risk: we assess eligibility, run baseline HIV/creatinine testing, prescribe the PrEP regimen, and arrange monitoring. PrEP availability in Nepal is limited — we maintain supply for enrolled patients.
STI Testing & Treatment
Confidential screening for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B/C, and HIV. Symptoms like discharge, burning, genital ulcers, or pelvic pain get same-visit assessment and targeted treatment. Partner treatment advice included.
Emergency Contraception
Available at our clinic — most effective within 24–72h (up to 120h with reduced effectiveness). A short confidential consultation covers the right option for your timing and any health considerations.
Contraception Continuity
Lost or ran out of your regular contraception? Bring the packaging or a photo — we prescribe the available local equivalent and document it for your records.
Your Privacy Is Structural, Not a Promise
- One-on-one consultations in a private room — no shared wards, no waiting-room disclosure.
- Insurance receipts describe "Medical Consultation + Lab Tests" unless you request specific documentation.
- Female clinician or chaperone available on request — just ask, no reason needed.
- WhatsApp a question with just the word "PEP" or "EC" — the team will know how to handle it discreetly.
The Confidential Service
Sexual health concerns are legitimate medical issues — and the traveler who needs STI testing, PEP assessment, or contraception guidance should not delay care because of embarrassment. Our services are confidential and non-judgmental: the consultation is medical, the information is yours, and the treatment is what the condition requires.

The Travel Context
Travel changes sexual behavior — the anonymity, the alcohol, the vacation mindset, the new relationships. The risks do not change; the likelihood of exposure may increase. The preparation is the same as at home (protection, communication, testing) plus the travel context (the supply from home, the testing that happens after return, the PEP that requires prompt action if exposure occurs).
The Prevention
Sexual health prevention: the condom use (the reliable barrier), the contraception (the continued during the travel), the HIV/STI awareness, and the vaccination (the HPV, the hepatitis B).
The Confidentiality
Sexual health confidentiality — our clinic provides the confidential assessment and the treatment. For the STI testing or the sexual health concerns, the private consultation that is provided.
The Confidentiality
Sexual health confidentiality — the consultation that is private, the results that are confidential, and the stigma that is avoided. For the STI concern, the confidential care.
The Prevention
STI prevention — the barrier protection (the condom that prevents), the testing that is done, and the awareness of the risk.
The Confidentiality
Sexual health confidentiality — the non-judgmental (the private that is maintained), the sensitive that is discussed discreetly.
The Prevention
Sexual health prevention — the condom (the barrier that protects), the PrEP (the pre-exposure that is available), and the testing that is done.
The Testing Cost
STI testing cost — the panel ~ $20-60 (the confidential that is affordable). For the screening, the accessible that is provided.
The Contraception Cost
Contraception cost — the pharmacy (the cheap that is available), the condom that is free or the minimal. For the prevention, the accessible that is stocked.
The Testing Cost
STI testing — the ~$30-80 panel (the comprehensive that is priced). For the screened, the discreet that is provided.
The Contraception
Contraception — the ~$5-30 (the method that is stocked). For the traveler, the supplied that is available.
What sexual health services does the clinic provide?
STI testing and treatment (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B/C), post-exposure assessment, emergency contraception access guidance, counseling on sexual health risks, and confidential consultation. All sexual health services are non-judgmental and confidential.
Can I get an HIV test?
Yes — rapid HIV testing with same-day results. Pre-test counseling, post-test counseling, and referral for confirmatory testing and care if needed. Testing is confidential; results are yours and shared only with your consent.
What about post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)?
If you have had a potential HIV exposure (unprotected sex, sexual assault, needle stick) within 72 hours, PEP may prevent infection — contact the clinic immediately. Time is critical; the sooner PEP starts, the more effective it is.
What STIs are common among travelers?
The same ones that are common everywhere — chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes — plus the travel context of new partners, impaired judgment (alcohol, altitude), and inconsistent protection use. The travel STI risk is real; the testing and treatment exist.
What about contraception needs?
Emergency contraception is available in Nepal pharmacies; ongoing contraception (pills, patches) requires bringing supply from home — the specific formulations may not be available. For contraception consultation or emergency contraception guidance, the clinic provides confidential assessment.
