Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
STIs are significantly on the rise in New Zealand, especially among young people, and as primary health providers PHOs and their General Practitioners are at the forefront of combating their rise. STIs on the increase in the community means there are more people with an STI, so there is a greater chance that you could catch one. People often do not know they even have one, as many, such as Chlamydia do not have any tell-tale symptoms, and this is why they are being spread so easily.
Untreated STIs like Chlamydia can go on to cause severe diseases and even infertility. The good news is that Chlamydia can be easily treated with prescription medication from your doctor. Other STIs can’t be cured, but can be controlled with medication.
At worst you can also catch debilitating illnesses like Hep C and HIV, which are both incurable but easily preventable by always using condoms.
Condoms are effective
Condoms effectively prevent many STIs. Stay safe. Always use a condom, no matter who you are having sex with.
