This week is 👩🏼❤️👩🏼
So we thought we'd share some key s*xual health info for le****ns!
ℹ️ Le****ns CAN get STIs - STIs can be passed on from s*xual activity between women. Oral s*x and sharing s*x toys are two of the more common ways women who have s*x with women can get an STI, but some STIs can be passed on through intimate skin-to-skin contact and mutual ma********on too. It’s worth getting checked out regularly, you can get tested in clinic or order a kit online.
ℹ️ Condoms can be handy! - For an easy way to protect against infections, use a new condom on a toy between each partner or body opening. Another option to protect against infections is to wash the toy between each partner or body opening. (...and don’t forget, you can get free condoms with a C-Card!)
ℹ️ Trade have LGBTQ+ clinics - Trade and Leicester Sexual Health hold a number of clinics at the Trade office, that provide s*xual health services exclusively for the LGBTQ+ community. You can also drop by the Trade office any time during their opening hours to take a self-testing kit, pick up condoms or have a chat for information and advice.
ℹ️ Cervical screening is still important! - It’s a myth that le****ns don’t need cervical screening. In fact, it’s important for all women and people with a cervix to attend cervical screening when they are invited, as it’s one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer.
