We know that getting tested for an STI can be an important moment in anyone’s life. We’ve seen firsthand the positive changes that can come from receiving a diagnosis, and how people have taken action for their own health and the health of their loved ones as a result.

One of the main hurdles to sexual health testing remains the stigma associated with STIs. All around the world, many people still feel shame about getting a sexually transmitted infection. This shame keeps people from getting the testing and care they will need.

In order to break down this stigma, Better2Know is gathering patient stories about their experiences getting tested. We firmly believe that people sharing their stories of getting tested will make it easier for other people.

Have you ever gotten tested for an STI? If you have, we want to hear from you!

Sharing your story could help someone struggling with the prospect of getting tested take that leap that will help them protect their sexual health.

We’ve created a quick survey you can take to share your story with Better2Know. Click the button below to participate. All participants may be eligible for a free £20 Amazon gift voucher upon receipt.
