Felt safe during HPV check-up

Posted By gammacb97

"Felt safe during HPV check-up"

About: Sidwell Street Clinic / Exeter Sexual Health

(as a service user),

HPV positive from smear

Staff at Exeter Sexual Health explained what this meant and informed me clearly about options with vaccine

I was worried because I found the smear painful.

They offered a full sexual health check up which I accepted

I felt safe and listened to and reassured.
