Warning partners
Do you have an STI? Warn your partner(s)! Even if you don't have any symptoms. Your partner can have an STI without knowing it and pass it on to others.
Remember this
You can pass on an STI from the moment you get infected until the treatment is completed. Warning partners prevents the STI being passed on or causing serious problems for other people.
