What are you giving your someone special this Valentines Day?

February 9, 2010 | Posted by Adam

It's love month and we want to take the opportunity to encourage everyone to do their loving safely.

Remember -

  • Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) rates continue to rise.
  • Not everyone with an STI will experience or notice symptoms.
  • While condom use (with water-based lube) remains one of the best methods of protection against transmission of HIV; it doesn't always prevent other STIs.
  • Sometimes the only way to know for sure is to get tested! Have a regular sexual health check-up at least once a year either through your GP or Sexual Health Clinic

While most of the community knows the importance of practicing safe sex, people should also know that not all STIs are prevented by condoms", the other key factor of being a responsible, sexually-active person today is to have a regular sexual health check-up.
