Oral Sex

Use condoms and water based lubricant
Get regularly tested for STIs including HIV
Recognise and act on symptoms of STIs
When possible, tell my recent sex partners if I have been diagnosed with an STI
Get vaccinated for hepatitis A & B

What's involved in a sexual health check-up?

As part of a thorough check-up, ask for a:

Blood test to check for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis A and B
Urine test, anal and throat swab to check for chlamydia and gonorrhoea
Physical examination to check for signs of other STIs like crabs, scabies, warts and herpes
Referral, counselling, advice and support

Many GPs and clinics now offer patients the option of providing a self-collected urine sample and anal swab. If you have symptoms, you may be offered different tests.

Check-ups are free at Sexual Health Clinics. You can remain anonymous.
