Following the Christmas festivities and New Year celebrations, a recent survey has revealed that sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been weighing heavily on some people’s minds.
Research carried out by Superdrug online doctor revealed that there had been a 53.8 per cent increase in searches for chlamydia tests. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that is usually caught through sex or contact with infected genital fluids.
A survey of 2,000 sexually active adults was conducted to help break the taboo around STIs and help people openly discuss their experiences more. Highlights from the research included how 91 per cent of Brits feel that an STI diagnosis would negatively impact their mental health, relationships, social life, love life, general confidence and even their career.
