Looking After Yourself

Looking after your sexual health can be about choosing what works for you, your relationships, and your lifestyle. You can use one method, or a combination.

There are different ways to reduce your risk and stay in control:

Condoms:

  • Using condoms helps protect against HIV and other STIs during sex

PrEP:

  • A pill you can take once daily or on demand to prevent HIV transmission

Regular testing:

  • Helps you stay informed and take action early if needed

Sexual health is about feeling informed, confident and in control of your choices.

This can include having open conversations with partners where you can and knowing what support is available to you.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common and often have no symptoms.

Some of the most common STIs include, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, and Syphilis

Left untreated, some STIs can lead to long-term health issues, but they are usually easy to test for and treat.
