Today is STIQ Day (14 January) β a date chosen because many common STIs, such as chlamydia, can take around two weeks to show up on a test.
If the festive season included unprotected s*x, now is a good time to think about getting tested and looking after your s*xual health.
Many STIs donβt cause obvious symptoms or can be mistaken for something else. Regular testing helps protect your health and the health of those youβre intimate with, and free testing is available in most areas.
Taking care of your s*xual health is a positive step.
