STIs
Busting the myths about STIs.
We’ve got all the information you need about STI’s, getting checked and what to do if you have an STI.
What is an STI?
STI is short for Sexually Transmitted Infection which is an infection that is passed from one person to another during sex (or sex play or using sex toys) where there’s skin-to-skin contact.
How do you get an STI?
Most STIs are spread through unprotected sex (not using a condom). They can be spread through vaginal, anal or oral sex.
Sometimes you may not know that you have one and you can still pass it on to another person even if you have no signs of having an STI.
How do you know if you have an STI?
The only way to know whether you have an STI for sure is to get checked at your doctors or at a sexual health clinic.
How do you stop STIs spreading?
Using a condom every time you have sex will reduce your chances of getting an STI. If you have been treated for an STI, it will take a while for the infection to clear. It’s important not to have sex until a week after you have finished the treatment.
Getting checked every 3 months or every time you get a new sexual partner also helps prevent STIs from spreading.
Do my sexual partners need treatment?
Probably. If you have an STI, it’s very likely that any recent sexual partners will also have an STI so it’s important to tell anyone you’ve had sex with in the last 60 days to get checked by a doctor or nurse. This will stop them from passing the infection back to you or on to others.
