Voluntary Counselling and Testing

Home Page

A professional nurse and two lay counsellors offer free confidential counselling and testing as well as family planning on site to anyone wanting to know their status or wanting to get help with their sexual health. This is a partnership with the Department of Health and the City of Cape Town to establish non-medical VCT sites in every health district.
