Sexual Health Check

A sexual health check is a check-up by a doctor, nurse or other health worker. People do not need to be experiencing symptoms to have a check-up as there are a number of STIs which often cause no symptoms but can have significant effects on your health (e.g. chlamydia).

A sexual health check is advisable if you:

• think you have an STI
• have had unprotected sex with casual partners
• are starting a new sexual relationship
• have different partners
• have been sexually assaulted
• want to discuss safe sex or contraception
