Trans sexual health | STIs

Anyone can get an STI, however trans people are more likely to pick up an STI for many reasons, which can include a lack of access to or lack of information about prevention methods and testing services. If you are trans you should know about STIs, the symptoms, and how to prevent them.

One method of HIV prevention all trans people should be aware of is PrEP. PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It's a pill that HIV-negative people can take that can stop you getting HIV.
