What is a
Sexual Health Practitioner

A sexual health practitioner focuses on sexual and reproductive health. This may be a sexual health physician, a GP with an interest in sexual health, or a sexual health nurse. Some psychologists and sex therapists help with sexual and relationship concerns. A first appointment includes confidential, non-judgemental questions about your health and sexual history, and testing if needed. You do not need a referral to see a GP or public sexual health clinic, but you need a GP referral to claim a Medicare rebate for a private specialist.

How Can Practitioners Help With Sexual Health?

STI Testing

Many STIs have no symptoms, so regular testing is recommended if you are sexually active, especially with new partners. Testing usually involves urine, a swab or blood. A practitioner can treat infections and advise on telling partners.

Contraception Advice

A GP, sexual health clinic or family planning service can talk you through contraception options, including the pill, implants, IUDs, condoms and emergency contraception, and help you choose a method that suits you.

Sexual Function Concerns

Erectile difficulties, pain during sex or changes in desire are common and can have physical or emotional causes. A GP can check for health issues, and a sexual health physician, psychologist or sex therapist can help further.

HIV Prevention

Condoms, regular testing and preventive medicines can lower the risk of HIV. A GP or sexual health clinic can talk through your options. If you may have been exposed in the last 72 hours, seek medical advice urgently.

Vaccines and Screening

Vaccines can protect against some STIs, including HPV and hepatitis B. Regular cervical screening, which looks for HPV, is recommended for women and people with a cervix, and a self-collection option is available.

Unplanned Pregnancy Support

If you are unexpectedly pregnant, a GP, sexual health clinic or family planning service can confirm the pregnancy and give clear, confidential information about your options. They can support your decision without judgement and refer you to counselling.

FAQs

How often should I get an STI test?

It depends on your situation. Testing is recommended whenever you have a new partner, if you or a partner have symptoms, or if a condom breaks or comes off. People with several partners may benefit from regular testing every few months. A GP or sexual health clinic can advise on a testing routine that suits you.

When should I see a sexual health specialist?

You should consider seeing a sexual health specialist if you experience symptoms such as pain during intercourse, changes in sexual desire, recurrent infections, or concerns about sexual function. Seeking professional guidance early can help address issues effectively and improve your overall sexual health and well-being.

What should I expect during my first appointment with a sexual health specialist?

During your first visit, the specialist will discuss your concerns, take a detailed medical and sexual history, and may perform relevant examinations or tests. They will provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to discuss your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What conditions and concerns do sexual health specialists treat?

Sexual health specialists treat a wide range of issues, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), erectile dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, low libido, sexual pain, and other intimacy-related concerns. They provide confidential and personalised care to address physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of sexual health.
