Myth: “The Morning-After Pill Is Just Another Contraceptive”

‼️Fact ‼️The morning-after pill (emergency contraception or Plan B) is not meant to be used as a regular method of birth control. It’s designed for emergencies only, such as when a condom breaks, or you forget to take your usual contraception. It’s not as effective as regular contraception methods, and frequent use can cause side effects. If you’re s*xually active, explore long-term options that better suit your needs and lifestyle 👉🔗 https://www.embracewolverhampton.nhs.uk/contraception/types-contraception

Since August 2025, gay, bis*xual, and other men who have s*x with men (GBMSM) who are considered at higher risk of gonorrhoea infection are being offered the meningococcal group B vaccine called ‘Bexsero’ to help protect them against gonorrhoea infections.

The vaccine is estimated to provide around 30 to 40% protection against gonorrhoea for at least 4 years after vaccination. The vaccine doesn’t provide complete protection against gonorrhoea, so condoms are important to protect not only against gonorrhoea but other STIs too.

Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK, especially among young people.

Although most people don’t have any symptoms, chlamydia can cause pain or a burning feeling when you p*e. Women may experience an increase or change in vaginal discharge, pain in the lower tummy, pain during s*x or bleeding after s*x or between periods. In men it can cause discharge from the tip of their p***s and/ or pain or tenderness in the testicles.

It's quick and easy to get tested for chlamydia – there’s no need for you to come to a clinic as you can get a free test sent to your home 👉🔗 https://www.embracewolverhampton.nhs.uk/stis/getting-tested-stis

Apple's new iPhone feature in iOS 26 shows calls from unknown numbers as 'screened'.

Emergency contraception can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected s*x—but the sooner, the better. Emergency contraception should not be relied on as a regular form of contraception.

Did you know you can now access free emergency hormonal contraception from your local pharmacy? 👉🔗 https://www.embracewolverhampton.nhs.uk/contraception/emergency-contraception

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.
