Every person deserves to feel safe and respected whilst seeking medical care. CAVHIS aims to provide a respectful and holistic service which helps to reduce the barriers in accessing primary care.
CAVHIS offers temporary registration with a thorough health assessment, sexual health screening, medical review and any urgent necessary referrals for individuals affected by sex work who are not registered with a GP. Individuals can self-refer by contacting the service to make an appointment by phone or by attending the reception.
CAVHIS staff endeavour to be as flexible as possible with accommodating walk-in requests for health screening. On completion of the health assessment and screening, individuals are supported to register with GP practices to access ongoing care.
For advice on Sexual Health, please refer to the Sexual Health section.
Anyone can be a victim of sexual exploitation, but some people are more vulnerable and at risk than others. Safer Wales work to protect victims of sexual exploitation from danger and help them to lead safer lives.
StreetLife is a Cardiff based Safer Wales project. Their volunteers and project workers help those affected by sex work through mentoring, advocacy and access to services. They are the only organisation in Cardiff providing evening outreach services and case management support.
