==Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs/STDs)== | ==Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs/STDs)== | ||
Anyone can be affected by STIs. It's possible to have one without having symptoms and so if you've had unprotected sex it's important you have a screen. | |||
For up to date information about how and where to test for STIs, HIV and safe sex see '''How To Stay STI and Baby-Free in Buenos Aires (The Bubble)''' - [http://www.thebubble.com/sexual-health-101-how-to-stay-sti-and-baby-free-in-buenos-aires/] | |||
Rates of HIV in Argentina are increasing - whilst some groups are affected more than others (men who have sex with men, commercial sex workers and intravenous drug users), anyone can get it and it's vital you are tested if you're having unprotected sex. | |||
'''Important Notes - Learn about PEP and PrEP:''' If you think that you've been recently exposed to HIV (i.e. within 72 hours), seek out PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a month-long treatment to prevent HIV infection after exposure, and it may be available in your city. Take PEP as soon as possible. For more information, click [https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/prevention/reduce-your-risk/post-exposure-prophylaxis/ here]. If you are at risk of HIV exposure, seek out PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a daily oral pill that can prevent HIV infection before exposure. To learn more about PrEP, click [http://www.whatisprep.org/ here]. | '''Important Notes - Learn about PEP and PrEP:''' If you think that you've been recently exposed to HIV (i.e. within 72 hours), seek out PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis).
