NHS vs private comprehensive screening
NHS clinics are a good option for free sexual health care. Private screening is usually chosen for speed, broader panels, discreet payment, and appointment control. Patients who need urgent PEP after possible HIV exposure should seek immediate NHS or emergency assessment.
