DTAP Clinic @ Novena

About DTAP Clinic @ Novena

DTAP Clinic @ Novena is the Novena branch of DTAP, a Singapore group of 'GP+' medical clinics that has been serving local and foreign patients since 2005. DTAP positions itself between a regular family GP and specialist care, offering services that may extend beyond a typical GP's reach, with particular focus on men's health, women's health, sexual health, STD checks, weight management and mental health.

The clinic is fully accredited for HIV and STD testing and treatment, and its services adhere strictly to Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines. Visits take place in a discreet, comfortable setting where patients can discuss medical and sexual health concerns freely with open-minded, non-judgmental doctors; both male and female doctors are available, described as professional, experienced, friendly and non-discriminatory.

Beyond sexual health, the Novena team covers broad family medicine: general health and cancer screening, pre-employment medicals, allergy testing, skin care, joint pain treatment, travel vaccination and more. Teleconsultation is available, and test kits, medications, supplements and medical aids can be delivered to your doorstep. Test prices are quoted separately from consultation charges, which apply to all clinic visits.

DTAP Clinic @ Novena: Discreet HIV & STD Testing and Men's, Women's Health Care in Singapore

DTAP Clinic @ Novena sits at #08-31 Novena Medical Centre on Sinaran Drive, part of a Singapore medical group that has been looking after patients since 2005. DTAP describes itself as a 'GP+' clinic - a practice that bridges the gap between a regular family doctor and a specialist, offering services that may extend beyond a typical GP's reach. Its stated focus areas are men's health, women's health (including sexual health), STD checks, weight management and mental health, with the aim of being a long-term healthcare partner through all of life's stages.

Sexual health, handled discreetly

The clinic's best-known work is in HIV and STD care. DTAP is fully accredited for HIV and STD testing and treatment, and its services adhere strictly to Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines. The testing menu is unusually broad: the 4th-generation rapid HIV test or rapid fingerprick P24 Antigen/Antibody test has a window period of 28 days with results ready in 20 minutes; HIV RNA PCR testing can detect HIV as early as 10-14 days after potential exposure; and rapid STD screening returns results the following day, with rapid Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea PCR available alongside rapid HIV testing as a package. Beyond testing, the clinic offers HIV PrEP to reduce the risk of infection before a potential exposure, and HIV PEP, which can reduce the risk of infection if started within 72 hours after one.

Anonymous HIV testing - where no passport, NRIC or personal particulars are recorded, even with a positive result - is a DTAP signature, offered at the group's MOH-recommended Clarke Quay branch. For those who would rather not visit a clinic at all, the DTAP Express self-testing site in Tanjong Pagar offers quick, fuss-free, confidential self-STD testing.

Men's and women's health, without the awkwardness

DTAP's men's health doctors handle issues many patients find hard to raise elsewhere: erectile dysfunction (treated with medication and Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy), circumcision and foreskin problems, prostate concerns, male infertility and semen analysis, testosterone deficiency, ejaculation issues and male pattern hair loss. The women's clinic is run by dedicated female doctors experienced in family planning and contraception - from pills, patches, injections, implants and IUDs to emergency contraception - as well as Pap smears and HPV testing, menstrual irregularities, vaginismus, pelvic inflammatory disease, pain during sex and fertility screening.

Both male and female doctors are available across the group, and the clinics are deliberately designed to let local and foreign patients discuss sensitive issues freely, with doctors described as open-minded, non-judgmental and non-discriminatory.

Everyday medicine, too

Sexual health is only part of the picture. The team also provides general health and cancer screening, pre-employment medicals, H. pylori and dengue testing, mental health care, travel advice and vaccination, ear wax removal, an oral UTI vaccine, and weight management including prescription weight loss pens. There is nutritional screening, IV iron infusion and DNA Life genetic insights for the wellness-minded, alongside an allergy clinic offering 20-minute skin prick tests, IgE blood testing and sublingual immunotherapy, and a skin clinic treating everything from acne and eczema to hives and fungal infections. Joint pain is covered too, with shockwave therapy and care for knee osteoarthritis, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, trigger finger, plantar fasciitis and De Quervain's tenosynovitis. If getting to Novena is difficult, teleconsultation is available, and test kits, medications, supplements and medical aids can be delivered to your doorstep.

Planning a visit

A few practical points: test prices are quoted separately from consultation charges, which apply to every clinic visit, so it is worth confirming current fees with the clinic directly. The group posts updates on its operating hours on its website, and appointments can be booked online. Whether you are coming in for a rapid HIV test, a routine health screen or something more personal, the promise is the same - professional, experienced, friendly, open and non-discriminatory care in a discreet, comfortable setting.
