When making your New Year health and fitness resolutions don’t forget your sexual health!
14th January 2012 is STiQ day New Year.....
STiQ Day is a national day which has been launched to get people thinking about their sexual health and to encourage more people to get regular sexual health checks. No one likes to think they've caught a sexually transmitted infection (STI) but without a test you just can't be sure. The 14th January was chosen because many common STIs such as Chlamydia can take two weeks to be detectable. If your festive season included unprotected sex then you should be thinking about getting tested now. Also with just one month to go before Valentine's Day anyone hoping to enjoy the celebrations to the full should do so knowing that they are infection free and will not be putting someone else's sexual health in danger.
Visit www.stiq.co.uk/home.stiq for more information or contact one of the team at DHIVERSE if you would like support with getting tested.
