Sexually Transmitted Infections
We want to help protect everyone from Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).
STIs are passed from one person to another through unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex, by genital contact and through sharing sex toys. Anyone, of any age, who is sexually active can contract an STI.
Using a condom protects you against STIs. It’s a good idea to have a sexual health screening, which tests for STIs – we understand that this can be a worrying thing to do but it’s better to know, not only for yourself but also for your partner.
