Reduce the risk!

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) commonly thought of as an old-school disease that no longer affects people – but this is very wrong! Syphilis is something everybody should be thinking about because it still poses a risk to your sexual health. Are you having unprotected sex? Then the only way to find out if you have syphilis is to be tested.

If left untreated, syphilis can cause serious health problems in both men and women. Scroll down and find out more about:
