Mpox, (previously known as monkeypox), is a serious infectious disease that can present itself in the form of painful skin lesions, these can appear on any part of the body.

If you have been offered a vaccination, this is to help protect you against mpox.

In 2025, there has been a rise in antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea cases in the UK.

Gonorrhoea and other STIs can be successfully prevented by using appropriate contraception and taking other precautions, such as:

💜 using male condoms or female condoms every time you have vaginal s*x, or male condoms during a**l s*x
💚 using a condom to cover the p***s or a latex or plastic square (dam) to cover the female ge***als if you have oral s*x
💜 not sharing s*x toys, or washing them and covering them with a new condom before anyone else uses them
