Chlamydia? You've probably heard of it. Gonorrhoea? That one too. But trichomoniasis? 👀🦠 #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #SexualHealth #STIAwareness #Trichomoniasis

Did you know that genital herpes symptoms can sometimes appear years after someone first acquires the virus? 🦠 Herpes simplex virus behaves differently from many other infections. It can remain dormant in the body for long periods before symptoms become noticeable. #Luton

You've had treatment, the infection has cleared… so how could you test positive for the same STI again? 🦠 Unlike some infections, having chlamydia or gonorrhoea doesn't give you reliable immunity against catching it again. #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #SexualHealth

Working in sexual health means having all sorts of conversations, and there really isn't much that surprises us! #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #SexualHealth #STITesting #SexualHealthSupport

You've completed your STI treatment… so is that everything sorted? 👀 #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #SexualHealth #STITreatment #SexualHealthSupport

Emergency contraceptive pills mainly work by preventing or delaying ovulation, so there’s no egg available for sperm to fertilise. The copper IUD works differently, using copper to affect sperm and prevent fertilisation. #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #EmergencyContraception

You don’t need to have all the answers before you contact us. Part of our role is helping you understand your options, access reliable information and work out what support may be appropriate for you. #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #SexualHealth #SexualHealthSupport

An important update if you use the contraceptive implant 👀 Nexplanon is now licensed for up to 5 years of contraceptive use in the UK, rather than 3 years. #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #Contraception #ContraceptiveImplant #Nexplanon

Some STIs can be present in different parts of the body, including the throat, genitals or rectum, depending on the infection and the type of sexual contact you’ve had 🧪 #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #STITesting #SexualHealth #STIAwareness

Your partner tested negative, so that means you’re negative too… right? 👀 Not necessarily. #Luton #LutonSexualHealth #STITesting #SexualHealth #STIAwareness
