1 minutes read1 minutes readGetting an STI check-up is a good idea because:
- STIs are at high level (and very high in gay men).
- STIs increase the risk of passing on HIV.
- STIs can be more serious for people with HIV.
- Having lots of sex partners means the risk of getting an STI is even higher.
- Any sexually active man or woman can catch an STI.
- The type of sex you are having is risky (e.g. without a condom).
- You are feeling run down.
- You may have experienced unusual discharges, rashes, itching and pain during sex or when urinating.
- STI symptoms are not always obvious and frequently there are no noticeable symptoms.
- It is important to look after your health and that of your partners.
