Becoming sexually active is a choice many teenagers make - one that should be made with solid understanding of the threats to their health and that of their partners. In this programme we take a detailed look at sexually transmitted infections, commonly known as STIs. We specifically focus on the facts and myths, decisions and getting help, symptoms and consequences, and treatment and protection. Also discussed are the differences between STDs and STIs, and how you should deal with a STI should you contract one. Being aware and remaining vigilant to the threat of STIs can reduce the likelihood of suffering long term damage or passing the infection onto someone else.
