Stop the rise of syphilis!

Syphilis is a s*xually transmitted infection (STI). If it's not treated, it can cause serious and potentially life-threatening problems - but many people who have syphilis will not have symptoms.

The only way to know is to get tested. Regular testing helps keep you and your partners safe - so remember to test every 3 months if you're s*xually active or have new partners.

For advice about your s*xual health please call our advice line on 📞 01902 481689 (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am – 12pm and Tuesday 10am-12pm). Or to book an appointment, call 📞 01902 444444.
