Stay Healthy. Get Checked. 

STIs are common—and many people who have one don’t know it.

Some infections have no symptoms, so getting checked is the only way to know for sure.

Using condoms can lower your chances of getting an infection.

Some infections spread through skin-to-skin contact, so even if you don’t have intercourse, you could still be at risk.

STIs can become dangerous if not treated.

Some STIs can cause a lot of health problems if you don't get treated. You also increase your chances of getting HIV if you have an untreated STI.

 

The good news is that most STIs can be treated, so it's worth it to get checked.  It's easy to get checked at a U Choose clinic - no hassle, no judging!

Ok, you've convinced me. I'll get checked. Now what? 

Congratulations! You're taking a huge step in protecting your present and future health and that of your partners. Find out more about getting a Health Check and visit the Getting Checked section to learn more about the simple journey to peace of mind.
