Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common and often cause no symptoms. If an STI is not detected and treated it may have serious health effects for you and your sexual partners.

Check Your Risk works by asking a few simple questions about your sexual activity over the previous 12 months. Your answers will result in a recommendation for STI tests, that you should have done. You can print this recommendation and take it to your doctor, who can do the tests that are appropriate for you.

Check Your Risk is designed for sexually active people who have no symptoms.

It is not designed for:

• People who have symptoms. If you have symptoms of a possible STI, then see your doctor.
• Those who have not been sexually active during the previous 12 months. If you are concerned about previous partners then discuss this with your doctor.
• People who prefer not to answer questions about their sexual activity.
• Sex workers
• Transgendered men and women

The recommendations we provide are only intended to be a guide and will not be appropriate to all individual circumstances.
