Good things to know
- Condoms help to protect against all STIs.
- STIs can be passed on through anal, oral and vaginal sex.
- PrEP is available for free, and protects against HIV.
- PEP is emergency medication that can be taken up to 72 hours after exposure to HIV to reduce the chance of becoming infected. This is available free from sexual health clinics (for sexual exposure) and the Emergency Department in hospitals.
- If you’ve had unprotected sex, it’s best to wait at least 14 days before testing. Learn more about the best times to test here.
