How common are STIs?
Super common. 1 in 2 people will get a sexually transmitted infection (STI) by the time they reach the age of 25.
There are a few things you can do to protect yourself from STIs. First, get vaccinated for HPV and Hepatitis B, use condoms or internal condoms when you have sex, get tested regularly, use PrEP (and PEP) and talk openly about sexual health with your partner(s).
