Could you have an STI?

Have you ever had vaginal, oral, or anal sex?

Not sure if this applies to you? Read more here.

It’s highly unlikely that you have an STI.

Looks like you’ve got nothing to worry about!

When you do start having sex, make sure you use condoms or dental dams (depending on the type of sex you’re having) to protect yourself from STIs.

Remember, STIs don’t always have symptoms so it’s also a good idea to test for STIs every 6-12 months, or sooner if you have multiple partners. If you have unprotected sex, show any symptoms or a current or past partner tells you they have been diagnosed with an STI, go get tested.

You’re at a very low risk of having an STI

Love that you’re using condoms every time you have sex! Condoms are super reliable and a great way to protect you and your partner/s from STIs. With that being said, nothing is 100%, so it’s a good idea to get tested every 6-12 months, or sooner if you have multiple partners. If you have unprotected sex (even once), show any symptoms or even if the condom breaks, go get tested.

You’re at low risk of having an STI

You’re at low risk of having an STI because you went and got tested (yeah you did!)

As you know, getting tested is quick and easy and usually free. With that being said, nothing is 100%, so it’s a good idea to keep getting tested every 6-12 months, or sooner if you have multiple partners. If you have unprotected sex (even once), show any symptoms or a current or past partner tells you they have been diagnosed with an STI, go get tested.

You’re at high risk of an STI

Remember, not all STIs have symptoms, so even if you feel totally fine, we’d suggest getting an STI test as soon as you can. Getting tested for STIs is quick, easy and usually free if you visit a bulk billing doctor or sexual health clinic.
