What is a sexually transmitted infection?
A sexually transmitted infection (STI), sometimes called a sexually transmitted disease (STD), is an infection that is most often passed from one person to another during sex. This can include skin, blood, semen, or bodily fluid contact.
HIV is passed on by blood-to-blood contact which can occur during penetrative sex, or the sharing of needles. Herpes is passed on by skin to skin contact and can be passed on whether or not penetration occurred.
You do not need to have vaginal or anal sex to have an STI. STIs can be passed on during oral sex, kissing and mutual masturbation.
STIs usually do not have symptoms in the first few weeks of a new infection, which is why they are easy to pass on. You can book your appointment today by calling our 24/7 Tulua helpline. You can also book online using the map on this page to find a sexual health clinic near you.

How do I know if I have an STD?
Our doctors say that you cannot diagnose an STD on symptoms alone. The only way to know if you have an STD is to get tested.
Most men and women do not experience any symptoms when they contract an infection. Some people can go months or even years and not show many, or any, outward symptoms. That is why it is important to get tested often, especially if you are sexually active or have had sex with a new partner.
When they do occur, common STD symptoms include:
Unusual discharge from the vagina, penis, or anus
Painful urination
Pain during sexual intercourse
Blemishes, such as sores, blisters, bumps, or rashes that appear on the genitals, rectum, or mouth
Itching around the genital area
Pain in the abdomen
Flu-like symptoms, including fever and headaches
Unusual weight loss
In women: unusual vaginal bleeding, particularly after sex
If left unaddressed, STDs can result in severe health complications including infertility, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, certain types of cancer, and a compromised immune system.
If you have concerns about your sexual health, take the initiative to get tested today at a Better2Know clinic in Tulua. Booking your appointment is easy. Please click on the sexual health clinic nearest you on the provided map and book your appointment online now.
STIs and pregnancy in Tulua
When you or your partner is pregnant in Tulua, it is one of the most important times for a woman not to get an STI. Having an STI while you are pregnant can cause serious damage to your unborn baby. You should always follow the advice of your Tulua doctor and midwife when you are pregnant, but if you are worried you should test for:
HIV
Herpes (if you have never had herpes before)
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Syphilis
STIs can be passed on to your baby before or during the birth. Most transmissions (passing on to your baby) can be prevented (including HIV) but your midwife needs to know that you have an STI to be able to stop the baby becoming unwell.
