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!

  • What to expect when you are getting an STI test

    Wherever you go to get a STI / BBV check it will be pretty similar.  


    You might see a nurse or a doctor, and most places are happy for you to bring along a support person if you prefer.  


    During the consult you will likely be asked about any symptoms, recent sexual history, if any partners have an STI and any concerns that you have about your sexual health.  


    Testing is usually done by you! somewhere private, including a urine sample and maybe swabs from the body parts you have had sex (like vaginal, oral or anal swabs). The health professional may perform an examination if indicated for example if there were symptoms. You may also need to have a blood test.  


    Results normally are back in less than a week. 


    Easy peasy hey!  

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.
