Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

• About 1 in 3 of us catch an STI at some time.
• Most sexually transmitted infections can be treated if discovered early on.
• If you are pregnant the STI may be passed on to your baby if left untreated.

Some of the most common ones:

• Chlamydia
• Herpes
• Genital warts
• Gonorrhoea (the clap)

How to spot them…

(but remember - there may be no obvious signs, so if in doubt, get checked out!)

• Soreness in genitals or tummy
• Discharge that looks or smells different
• Pain when peeing
• Peeing more than usual
• Itching, rashes, lumps, blisters or sores on genitals
• Streaks of blood in pee
