Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Sexually Transmitted Diseases are contagious conditions that are transmitted through sex. There are various STDs that often cause unpleasant symptoms for which you need to be treated.

If you think you have STD-related symptoms, you can contact ZIZ. This is a non-commercial foundation that works closely with the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), with the aim of providing affordable and outcome-oriented STD care. Loudon Medical Center has chosen to no longer provide STD care, but instead to have patients use ZIZ's specialized services for all STD-related complaints.

In addition to STDs, you can also contact ZIZ for questions about and the use of PrEP, a substance that prevents HIV infection.

On the ZIZ website, you can read all about the conditions and the services they offer. At ZIZ, you will receive good, professional, and prompt assistance. You will receive the results faster than via your GP, and the care provided by ZIZ is more cost-efficient.

Loudon Medical Center contributes to creating more capacity for GP care, as well as cost-efficient care, by outsourcing above mentioned care. Under 'our health care' in the menu on our website, you can read more about our initiatives to make choices regarding the care we wish to provide as a GP practice.
