  This is some thing that is really if ever mentioned on sites like this , not sure why but may be its time it was. 

  I have been trained in sexual health by Eddyston trust and during this trainning i was amazed at some of the figgers and facs .

  Did you know the biggest group at risk from HIV is married people age betwen 40 and 55 both men and women have had a huge increase in reported cases The LGB population at risk is on the decline . This is due to the work done by loads of organisations , and self awearness . 

  So what are the risks well if you have unprotected sex you can catch a whole range of things so its qquit simple use a CONDOM you can even get them free from most gay bars GUM clincs and your GP . 

  If you have had unproteceted sex what can you do ?

  Visit your local GUM clinic they do a simple blood test its a small prick to put your mind at rest results are normaly text to you in 5 days ish . There service is compleatly confidential and no one will know you have even been there, what if you have sex unprotected and you think they might have HIV ?

  Again get down the gum ASP they have a treatment called PEPS it last a month and can help stop the spread of HIV they will also carry out blood test to determin your satus . The treatment is not nice but way better than finding out 3 months later you have HIV and then your in for a life time of treatment NO there is no cure as of yet !!

  Remember the only real way to stop getting an STI is to wear a CONDOM 

   

  There are loads of good web sites out there that will give you more information so think safe be safe and keep safe 

   

  Remember HIV is for life .
