Summer Holidays

Summer holidays are here, you can’t tell who’s got an STI just by looking at them, so do the sensible thing and take the necessary precautions.

There’s nothing wrong with indulging in some healthy holiday fornication – just make sure the only thing you take away from your revelries is happy memories and not STIs.

Remember  to pack everything on your Holiday list – Condoms, Contraception, Suncream, Shorts, Flip Flops

If you think you’ve come home with more than a suntan, don’t panic, get yourself checked out at your nearest bSHaW sexual health clinic.
