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
