Symptoms of sexually transmitted infections may include:

• Pain when urinating
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Rash/Itching on the genitals and/or anus
• Change in colour of the male or female discharge
• Discharge from the penis or vagina
• Strong vaginal odour

Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are two of the most common STIs. Chlamydia is the most common STI in Ireland, however 80% of women and over 50% of men have no symptoms so the only way to know if you have it is to get tested.

Early detection is crucial in reducing any long-term consequences that may have a considerably damaging effect on your health.
You should wait a minimum of 3 weeks from the time of sexual intercourse before taking your test. Sexually transmitted infections can take a period of time to become detectable, and you should wait to ensure an accurate result. If you are sexually active, regular testing is advised.
