🇲🇹 🛡️Kif Jistgħu Jiġu Evitati l-STIs?
TKELLEM – ITTESTJA – ITTRATTA
Ħu ħsieb tas-saħħa sesswali tiegħek bi prattiki tas-sess aktar sikuri:
✔️ Il-kunsens huwa importanti – l-użu ta’ ċerti sustanzi jista’ jaffettwa l-ġudizzju️ ✔️ Uża kondom ġdid għal kull att sesswali jew partner ✔️ Iprattika iġjene tajba qabel u wara s-sess (ġenitali, a**li, orali, idejn)* ✔️ Żomm il-ġugarelli tas-sess nodfa u għall-użu personali biss ✔️ Ittestja regolarment, speċjalment meta jkollok partners ġodda ✔️ Illimita n-numru ta’ partners ✔️ Staqsi dwar il-PrEP jew il-PEP għall-prevenzjoni tal-HIV ✔️ Ikkunsidra l-vaċċini ta’ kontra l-HPV, l-Epatite A, u l-Epatite B
*🦷 Iġjene orali tajba hija importanti — iżda l-ħin huwa kruċjali!
Evita li tnaddaf snienek jew li tuża dental floss qabel jew wara s-sess orali. Qatgħat żgħar fil-ħalq jagħmluha aktar faċli għall-HIV u għal STIs oħra biex jidħlu fid-demm.
🔑 Il-kunsens, il-komunikazzjoni, u l-protezzjoni huma essenzjali!

💉 Informazzjoni Dwar il-Vaċċin:
📌 HPV – B’xejn għal kull min twieled fis-sena 2000 jew wara
📌 Epatite A – Ikkonsulta mas-Servizz Nazzjonali tal-Immunizzazzjoni għal aktar informazzjoni
📌 Epatite B – 👶Għat-trabi: Huwa parti mill-vaċċin tas-6-in-1; huwa mogħti fi 3 dożi, li jibdew
mill-età ta’ 6 ġimgħat.
🧑‍🦰 Għall-adulti: Normalment ma jkunx hemm bżonn ta’ booster, sakemm ma jkunx hemm riskju għoli ta’ esponiment għad-demm jew għal fluwidi tal-ġisem, u l-livelli tal-antibodies tal-Epatite B ikunu baxxi.

🇬🇧 How to Prevent STIs?
TALK – TEST – TREAT 💬
Take charge of your s*xual health with safer s*x practices:
✔️ Consent matters – substance use can affect judgment
✔️ Use a new condom for every s*xual act or partner
✔️ Practise good hygiene before and after s*x (ge***al, a**l, oral, hands)*
✔️ Keep s*x toys clean and for personal use only
✔️ Get tested, especially when you have new partners
✔️ Limit the number of s*xual partners
✔️ Ask about PrEP or PEP for HIV prevention
✔️ Consider vaccines against HPV, Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B
*🦷 Good oral hygiene is important — but timing matters!
Avoid brushing or flossing immediately before or after oral s*x. Small cuts in the mouth make it easier for HIV and other STIs to enter the bloodstream.

🔑 Consent, communication, and protection are key!

💉 Vaccine Info:
📌 HPV – Free for anyone born in the year 2000 or later
📌 Hepatitis A – Consult with the National Immunisation Service for more information
📌 Hepatitis B – 👶 For infants: It is part of the 6-in-1 vaccine, given in 3 doses, starting at 6 weeks old.
🧑‍🦰 For adults: A booster is not usually needed unless there is a high risk of exposure to blood or body fluids, and Hepatitis B antibody levels are low.

L-STIs jistgħu jiġu trattati u kkurati għal kollox?

⭐It-trattament bikri jgħinek tipproteġi saħħtek

HIV doesn’t define a person. But stigma does.

Today, on World HIV Stigma Day, we’re reminding everyone:
Stigma isn’t just words. It’s a barrier — to Testing, to Treatment, to Dignity, and to Life itself.

In Malta and beyond, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives thanks to effective treatment. U=U — Undetectable = Untransmittable. That’s not an opinion. That’s a FACT.

Stigma prevents people from seeking help. It fuels fear, misinformation, and silence. It isolates people when what they need is compassion.

Ending HIV stigma starts with us.
🔴 Speak up when you hear harmful stereotypes.
🔴 Share facts, not fear.
🔴 Treat every person with respect and dignity.

🩺 Free, confidential testing and support is available in Malta through Checkpoint Malta and the Health and Wellbeing Clinic on 21 231 231 or visit s*xualhealth.gov.mt to learn more.
