Stay Lubly Get Tested

Stay Lubly, Get Tested

Staying lubly means taking care of our sexual health, getting tested for STIs, and talking about our sexual health.

When you take control of your sexual health, you’re making a powerful choice for yourself and your community, plus it’s easy to get tested!

Why should I care?

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) often have no symptoms, but if left untreated, they can lead to serious health issues.

Syphilis is an STI that we’re seeing rise in South Australia and it can lead to significant health consequences. Syphilis can also cause harm to babies during pregnancy.

Luckily, regular STI testing and using condoms are simple and effective ways to look after your sexual health and to prevent the spread of infections to others.

Getting tested is good for you, your sexual partner/s and the wellbeing of your community.

Facts about STIs:

• STI testing is easy, usually you’ll only need to wee in a cup or do your own swab in private.

• STIs are super common! Health workers have heard it all before and it’s their role to be non-judgemental and confidential.

• Most STIs are easy to treat.

Start a conversation about staying lubly

It’s time to break down the stigma around sexual health. Talking openly about sexual health helps reduce shame and encourages more people to get tested. Whether it’s with a partner, a friend, or a health professional, these conversations can save lives.
