This website provides basic information on some of the most common Sexually Transmissible Infections (STIs) found among gay men as well as information about STI testing and treatment. It is written for both HIV positive and HIV negative men.

This website should only be used as a guide. Not all STIs present with symptoms and even when symptoms do appear they aren’t always the same. Some people may have no obvious symptoms, others mild symptoms and some more severe. If you think that you have an STI, get a check-up. If your doctor doesn’t see many gay men or you don’t want him/her to know you are gay, go to a sexual health centre.
