Preventing STIs

 

You can reduce the spread of STI'S by:

  • Using a condom during sexual intercourse, from start to finish.

For more advice on using a condom including choosing the correct size and type, go to http://www.avert.org/usecond.htm

  • Limiting the number of sexual partners
  • Having regular check-ups particularly if you have symptoms or have changed sexual partners

A one to one discussion with a trained sexual health specialist can identify ways of reducing your risk whilst expressing yourself sexually . Advice on vaccination against STDs such as hepatitis B and HPV can be discussed and testing can be arranged.
