New Year Resolutions: Take Control of Your Sexual Health

One quarter of New Year Resolutions are health orientated, with many people wanting to either lose weight or take a more active approach towards their health. In light of this, you should take into account your sexual health.

Often ignored, or brushed under the rug to avoid embarrassment, many individuals disregard signs that they need an STI test in hope that the symptoms simply vanish.

Sexually transmitted infections affects anyone who has sex. Especially if you have sex without using barrier protection. Unfortunately, there seems to be a misconception that STIs are not common or that ‘it won’t happen to me’.

Here are some reasons you should get tested today:

Many sexually transmitted infections show no symptoms
STIs can be transferred through skin-to-skin contact alone
The earlier you receive treatment for an STI, the less damage will be done to your system
There is no way to know you have been infected without getting tested

This New Year make it your number one priority to get tested for a wide range of sexually transmitted infections.
