STIs & HIV

STIs are sexually transmitted infections that people get through sexual activity. They are incredibly common and just like any other infection, such as a cold, it is nothing to be embarrassed about. It's really important that you seek help and get treatment because, unlike a cold, many do not usually clear up on their own. Click on the boxes to find out more about the different types of STIs, and information on testing and treatment.

The best prevention against all STIs is to wear a condom. If you test positive for any STI, Devon Sexual Health can also help you to notify your sexual partners.
