Public governmental and [[non-profit]] clinics often provide services for free or adjust the fee based on a patient's ability to pay.

Sexual health clinics often offer services without appointments. Some clinics open evenings or weekends.

Some clinics have separate hours or facilities for men and women. Some clinics serve only specific populations such as women, men, [[Men who have sex with men |MSM]], [[youths]], [[LGBT]], ethnic groups, the poor, or students.

==Examinations==

With the patient's [[informed consent|consent]], a [[wiktionary:clinician|clinician]] will inspect the patient visually and by touch. If needed, the clinician will take samples to [[STD test| test]] for [[sexually transmitted infection]]s.

In a private room or space, the patient will partially undress.

The clinician may inspect the patient's:
*Throat and [[lymph node]]s of the neck for inflammation
*[[Pubic hair]] for [[pubic lice|lice]]
*[[Superficial inguinal lymph nodes|Lymph node]]s of the groin for swelling
*Genitals, [[Human anus|anus]], and surrounding areas for sores and [[wart]]s

The clinician may swab the patient's:

The clinician may ask for a small [[urine]] sample, given in private, to test for [[chlamydia infection|chlamydia]] and possibly [[gonorrhea]].

The inspections and taking samples don't hurt, but swabbing the urethra and cervix, and a finger prick blood sample feel uncomfortable.

==Privacy==
Sexual health clinics follow local standards of medical confidentiality to protect the privacy of patients.
Some clinics provide anonymous services or protect [[Wiktionary: confidential|confidentially]] by having a patient use a code name, a number, or a false name.<ref>

Additional privacy protections sometimes apply to matters of sexuality and reproduction, since these areas are sensitive in many cultures.

In the United States, clinics receiving federal funding from [[Medicaid]] or [[Family_planning#United_States|Title X]] of the [[Public Health Service Act]] must treat all patients confidentially. Thus minors can receive services without parental notification or consent.<ref>

==Consent==

Medical standards of [[informed consent]] apply to sexual health clinics. A patient needs information about the purposes and consequences of examinations, tests, treatments, and other procedures. A patient may then choose whether to consent to these procedures.

A [[Minor (law)|minor]] may consent to receive some or all of the procedures at many sexual health clinics.
