STI Prevention
Please select below to learn more about STI prevention and our free safe sex supplies program, Wrapped 'N Ready.
Prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV can come in many forms, and the ways
we can protect ourselves are increasing.
When used correctly and consistently, safer sex methods (with lots of water-based lube) continue to
provide effective protection against HIV and most STIs.
Explore additional ways to prevent HIV and other STIs by clicking the boxes below. Remember, STIs do happen, so regular three (3) monthly STI check-ups are recommended (even if using safer sex methods every time).
Let’s Treat Syphilis
Syphilis is a sexually transmissible infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Treponema Pallidum and is spread through oral, anal, and genital contact.
QC and Queensland Positive People (QPP) have worked together to create campaigns and a website.
