Ask question – could I have it? 14 December
The WA Health Department has launched two sexual health campaigns to address the rising numbers of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) being reported in Western Australia.
The campaigns aim to reduce the number of STI notifications among young people who continue to be a key risk group for STIs.
So far in 2020 young people have accounted for 51 per cent of chlamydia and 33 per cent of gonorrhoea notifications in WA.
Although most STIs, including the most common chlamydia and gonorrhoea, can be treated with antibiotics, they can cause serious problems if left untreated.
