Sexually transmissible infection (STIs) are common. Anyone who has sex can get an STI – even if you practise safe sex most of the time. Not all STIs have obvious symptoms so you may not know you have one. Most STIs can be treated. If untreated, they can have serious effects on your health. Get an STI test at least once a year - usually with a simple blood test or urine sample. Condoms are the best protection.

HIV - infection control in hospitals

Hospitals follow strict infection control guidelines to prevent the spread of HIV to patients.

HIV and AIDS

In Australia, HIV is most commonly spread when having sex without a condom and when sharing needles and other injecting equipment.

HIV and women – having children

Women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or women whose partner is HIV-positive, may wish to have children but feel concerned about the risk of transmission of the virus to themselves (if their partner is HIV-positive) or to the baby.

HIV, hepatitis and sport

People with HIV or hepatitis B or C participate in a wide range of sports without restrictions, and the risk of transmission to another player is extremely small.

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV prevention

PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a course of antiviral medication you can take to prevent HIV infection if you have potentially been exposed to the virus.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an oral medication that prevents HIV in people at risk of infection with the virus.
