Find a Sexual Health Clinic or Pharmacy

If you think you may have genital herpes, you need to see your GP, sexual health clinic or other health care provider. Sexual health clinics provide a specialist, confidential, free or low-cost service.

Visit our sister website, Just the Facts about Sexual Health and STIs, which hosts a comprehensive database of sexual health clinics and sexual health providers in New Zealand.

Pharmacies

Some pharmacies can now prescribe valaciclovir without patients having to attend a medical centre. This means people with known/recurrent herpes can have medication on hand and can start treatment at the first hint of symptoms. It is not designed to be a diagnosis and assessment service or for treatment for an acute episode of herpes.

Patients should call ahead to check when the credentialled pharmacist is rostered to work or arrange a time.
