Today is STIQ Day (14 January) – 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 don’t cause obvious symptoms or can be mistaken for something else. Regular testing helps protect your health and the health of those you’re intimate with, and free testing is available in most areas.

Taking care of your s*xual health is a positive step.

You can get oral contraception and emergency contraception directly from participating pharmacies, without needing a prescription or GP appointment. This makes accessing contraception quicker and more convenient, helping you stay in control of your s*xual health. Trained pharmacy teams can offer confidential advice and support to help you choose the right option for you. 💊🩺

Emergency contraception can stop you getting pregnant after unprotected s*x (s*x without contraception or when contraception might have failed). If you need emergency contraception after having unprotected s*x, speak to your local pharmacist as soon as you can. You need to use emergency contraception within 3 to 5 days of having unprotected s*x. ✨
