Important things to remember about your sexual health

Important things to remember about your sexual health:

  • you may have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) without having any symptoms
  • some STIs can affect fertility in both men and women
  • STIs can be transferred from mother to baby and cause problems during birth or after birth
  • being in a longer term relationship is no guarantee you can't have an STI, as you can have an STI for months or years
