Hepatitis A and B can be transmitted through condomless anal and vaginal sex, fisting without gloves, sharing injecting equipment and drug paraphernalia, as well as sharing sex toys. 

If you are not immune to Hepatitis A or B and classify as a man who has sex with men (MSM), you may be eligible for free vaccinations to either Hepatitis A (Havrix), Hepatitis B (Energix-B) or both (Twinrix). Please talk to one of our nurses to discuss your options.

There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C. However, it can be treated with Medicare subsidised medication.

HPV (or Human Papilloma Virus) is a sexually transmitted infection that occurs with men and women. A few strains have been shown to instigate cervical cancer in women, while other strains have been shown to instigate anal cancer and genital and anal warts in men. 

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) nonovalent vaccine, aka Gardasil, is also available at M Clinic. All teenagers now received the Gardasil vaccine for HPV in their high school vaccination program. This vaccine is used to protect people from nine strains of HPV that can cause genital warts and are associated with cancers of the anal, genital and oral regions.

Gardasil is available for free to men under the age of 26*. The Schedule is three injections over six months.

*If you are 26 years of age or older and are interested in receiving the Gardasil vaccine, please call the clinic. M Clinic can provide the Gardasil 9 vaccine at $231.00 per dose (three doses are required) + nurse consultation fee of $35.00.

Mpox is a virus in the same family as smallpox, which generally causes mild symptoms. It is spread from skin-skin contact, prolonged exposure to someone who has Mpox, or by sharing bedding, clothes, or similar items with someone who has Mpox.

M Clinic offers Mpox vaccinations for men who have sex with men due to the recent outbreaks.

While the vaccination does not make you immune to Mpox, it will help protect you from contracting Mpox, and will lessen the severity of symptoms if you do still contract it.
