Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s)

Sexually Transmitted Infections or STI’s for short, are very infectious and very common. People don't usually pass them on deliberately - they pass them on through ignorance because they don't often realise they have an infection, in other words they may not have any signs or symptoms that there is something wrong, or, that they don't spot them.

It is important to know what to look out for if you have put yourself at risk. To avoid getting an STI it is important to practice safer sex! The easiest way to do that is to make sure you use condoms properly every time you have sex.
