Getting Tested
Besides always using condoms, if you are sexually active, having a sexual health check up should be a regular part of your lifestyle. STI screening is simple, easy and readily available. In fact your regular GP can arrange a test for you. However, if you feel uncomfortable about seeing your regular doctor about an STI, there are sexual health clinics across the state. Some of these are listed below.
