Today marks the start of Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week.
This annual campaign is a powerful opportunity to raise awareness about consent, s*xual abuse, and s*xual violence. By starting conversations, sharing resources, and standing with survivors, we help create safer communities for everyone. Awareness leads to action—and action leads to change. 💜

Chlamydia is a common s*xually transmitted infection that can occur in both men and women.
Not everyone with chlamydia has symptoms. But common symptoms can include unusual discharge from your va**na or p***s and pain when peeing.
It can be easily treated with antibiotics.

HPV is the virus that causes ge***al warts. There are many types of HPV—some cause warts, while others don’t cause any visible symptoms at all. In many cases, HPV stays dormant in the body for months or even years before warts appear, and some people never develop warts at all.

Because of this delay, having warts does not mean someone was recently exposed or that a partner was unfaithful. HPV is extremely common and can be passed unknowingly.

If you have been diagnosed with an STI yourself, or if someone you have had s*x with has, we realise this can be an anxious time.

STIs are highly contagious and s*xual partners of someone who has an STI must be tested and treated as soon as possible, even if they have no symptoms.

Chlamydia is the most commonly diagnosed STI in the UK.
Around 1 in 10 young people under 25 are affected.

It can be passed on through unprotected s*x, including oral s*x, often without any symptoms — which is why regular testing matters.
