Sexually transmitted infections
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections you can get from having oral, anal or vaginal sex. STIs are common and often don't have symptoms, so it is really important that if you have a new partner, unprotected sex or if it has been a while since your last check that you find a clinic that can help you out. Luckily finding a place to help is really easy, check out our map!

Sex, Gender and Sexuality, and Identity
‘Sex’ refers to the biological differences between female and male.
‘Gender’ is a social classification, it’s about whether you feel masculine, feminine, both, or neither.
Sexuality is about who you feel attracted to, sexually and/or romantically; your sexual behaviours; and how you choose to identify.
You choose how you describe yourself, what pronouns you use, and who you choose to be with. If you are looking for LGBTI friendly support check out the links.
Blood Borne Viruses
BBVs (Blood Borne Viruses) are infections that pass from blood to blood contact, and include hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.
This could be through vaginal or anal sex, or by sharing needles. BBVs can also be passed from mother to baby.
