What Infectious Disease covers

Conditions treated
  • tuberculosis
  • hepatitis B and hepatitis C
  • HIV
  • travel-related infections such as dengue and malaria
  • fever that lasts without an explanation
  • infections that keep returning or resist antibiotics
When to see one instead of a GP
A GP treats the ordinary infections. An infectious disease physician is for fever with no clear source, an infection that hasn't cleared after the usual antibiotics, a positive hepatitis or HIV test, and vaccines or advice before a high-risk trip.
Do you need a referral?
No referral needed. Bring the list of antibiotics you've already taken and any culture or blood results — both change what gets prescribed next.
