In Victoria, we have seen increasing rates of STIs over the past 10 years. There are lots of different STIs and not all of them have obvious symptoms. You could have an STI without even knowing it.
If not treated, STIs can cause long term health problems, such as infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease. The good news is, most STIs are curable and all can be treated.
The best way to know if you have an STI is to have regular STI checkups. STI testing week is a great time to get tested!
You can get tested at a sexual health clinic or a GP.
