🤔Did you know that STIs are on the rise in Australia? 💭

About 16% of Australians have had an STI in their lifetime. STIs can affect anyone of any age, gender, relationship status or s*xual orientation.

Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus, and syphilis. STIs can be transmitted in various ways, including via skin-to-skin contact, having oral s*x or s*xual in*******se.

It is important to maintain good s*xual health. Many people with an STI will have no symptoms, so it's important to get tested regularly.✅

Book in to see one of the GPs at Next Practice Braddon for a confidential s*xual health checkup.
