Sexually Transmissible Infections (STI)
and Blood Borne Viruses (BBV)
An STI or BBV can affect anybody who has any type of
sexual contact
STI’s are infections passed from one infected person
to another uninfected person through sexual activity,
regardless of gender
BBV’s are viruses transmitted from one infected person to
another uninfected person through the exchange of blood
STI’s and BBV’s symptoms vary, with some STI’s and BBV’s
having no obvious symptoms at all
The following are all STI’s and BBV’s - Chlamydia,
Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, HIV/Aids, HPV, Herpes, Hepatitis A,
Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Pubic Lice.

Encompass Health Group is
committed to your sexual health.
Many people with an STI or BBV have no symptoms and can
only be diagnosed by a test. Always consider a check-up if you
experience:
pain, discomfort or a burning sensation when urinating
an unusual discharge from your penis, vagina or anus
itchiness around the genital area
a rash, sores or small lumps on or around the penis,
vagina or anus
pain and swelling in the testicles
pain during sexual intercourse
unusual bleeding from the vagina after sexual intercourse
or between periods
swollen glands, fever and body
unexplained fatigue, night sweats and weight loss
a sore throat
Other reasons to consider a check-up are:
your current or previous sexual partner informs you,
or you’ve heard rumours they have an STI or BBV
you have had unprotected sexual intercourse or a condom
has broken with a casual, new or previous partner
concerns that a current or previous partner may have had
unprotected sexual contact with a person other than yourself
Recommended frequency for STI/BBV check-ups vary
depending on the amount of sexual activity, type of sexual
activity, age and gender. Some good guidelines to follow
even if you use condoms at all times are:
Once a year if you are under 30
Every 3 months if you are a male who has sex with other males
