Sexual Health Care in Nepal — the Context
- Stigma is the biggest disease multiplier — patients delay care for months over privacy fears; our clinic is engineered around discretion.
- Fragmented care is the norm — labs test, pharmacies sell, nobody owns the outcome. We own the whole pathway.
- Self-medication feeds resistance — over-the-counter antibiotics for discharge are producing partially-treated, harder-to-treat infections.
- No national screening culture — asymptomatic infection circulates undetected; routine screening is individual initiative here.
What "Best" Means for an STD Clinic
The difference between a good STD clinic and a bad one is invisible until it matters: whether the test is PCR or a cheap rapid kit, whether the antibiotic is the one that still works in this region, whether your partner gets treated, whether anyone checks that the cure actually held. A report slip is not care.
Thamel Clinic in Thamel, Kathmandu is a dedicated sexual-health practice covering the full spectrum — chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, HPV/warts, herpes, hepatitis B and C, trichomoniasis, mycoplasma, and the less common ones — with an MD physician managing every case personally.
The operating principles are simple: gold-standard diagnostics only, WHO/CDC-aligned treatment, mandatory partner management, documented follow-up, and absolute confidentiality. This page explains the services, the standards, and what a visit actually looks like.
Conditions We Diagnose & Treat
Bacterial STIs
Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid — PCR/serology diagnosis, WHO-standard antibiotics, documented cure.
Viral STIs
HIV (testing → ART linkage → monitoring), herpes (suppressive/episodic therapy), HPV (warts, screening, vaccination), hepatitis B & C.
Parasitic & Other
Trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies — plus mycoplasma, ureaplasma, gardnerella and urethritis work-ups.
Complex & Complicated
PID, epididymitis, proctitis, treatment failures, co-infections, and HIV-related STI complications.
Sexual Medicine
Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and sexual-health counseling via our sexology service.
Prevention
PrEP, PEP, HPV/hepatitis B vaccination, condom and risk counseling, scheduled screening.
The Standards Behind the Care
- PCR/NAAT as default — the gold standard; rapid antigen tests only where speed is clinically appropriate, always with confirmation pathways.
- Site-appropriate sampling — urine, vaginal, rectal and pharyngeal — matching the actual exposure.
- Current regional resistance awareness — ceftriaxone-first for gonorrhea; no recycling drugs that have failed locally.
- Partner management built in — confidential notification and treatment offered with every positive.
- Follow-up scheduled, not suggested — test-of-cure and 3-month retests booked at the first visit.
- Honest pricing — Rs. 450 consultation, transparent lab quotes before anything is drawn.
What a Visit Looks Like
- Arrival — a general clinic in Thamel; nobody knows why you are there.
- Private consult (Rs. 450) — history, examination if needed, test selection.
- Sampling — urine, swabs or blood draw; self-collection options where suitable.
- Results in 24–48 hours — to you alone, by phone/WhatsApp/in person.
- Same-visit treatment — positives convert immediately into prescriptions or procedures.
- Follow-up booked — retests and titers scheduled before you leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need symptoms to visit?
No — screening visits for asymptomatic patients are common and encouraged. Symptoms, a positive partner, or simple peace of mind are all valid reasons.
How confidential is a visit really?
Completely — a general clinic exterior, neutral paperwork, results delivered only to you through your chosen channel. Nothing reaches family or employers.
What should I do first — test or consult?
Consult first: a 5-minute history ensures the right tests at the right sites, and avoids paying for panels you do not need.
Can treatment start the same day?
Usually yes — symptomatic patients are often treated presumptively while PCR confirms; straightforward cases leave with treatment done.
Do you see women and LGBTQ+ patients?
Yes — all genders and orientations, with female-staff options for examinations and explicitly judgement-free care.
What if I was already treated elsewhere and it didn't work?
Common presentation — we retest properly, review what was actually taken, and manage failure systematically including resistance work-ups when needed.
