HIV

About

The Wharfside clinic at St Mary's Hospital is one of the largest HIV clinics in the UK and has a full range of general and specialist HIV services and support services for people living with HIV.

Any patient with HIV is able to register to receive care at the Wharfside clinic. You can either book an appointment by calling 020 3312 3405 or 3406 or drop in to register and book the next available appointment. If you drop in we will normally do an initial blood test at the same time. If you need to change or cancel an appointment, you can email imperial.wharfside.appointment@nhs.net.

We are currently seeking feedback on a joint proposal to improve HIV inpatient services.
