Did you know you can get syphilis more than once? Even if you've had treatment before, you're not protected from getting it again.

Syphilis often has no symptoms, so regular testing is the only way to know. If left untreated, it can cause serious and potentially life-threatening problems.

Protect yourself and others - get tested every 3 months if you're s*xually active or have new partners.

For advice about your s*xual health please call our advice line on 📞 01902 481689 (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am – 12pm and Tuesday 10am-12pm). Or to book an appointment, call 📞 01902 444444.

Today we are celebrating 1️⃣ year of routine HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C blood tests 🎉

The offer is made to anyone aged 18 and over who is already having bloods taken for another reason at Wolverhampton’s New Cross Hospital.

This automatic testing is part of a national NHS initiative to carry out testing in local areas where these infections have a high prevalence. Patients can choose to opt out if they do not wish to be tested.

This initiative is helping earlier diagnosis and access to treatment, saving lives 💜💚
