🇲🇹 🛡️Kif Jistgħu Jiġu Evitati l-STIs?
TKELLEM – ITTESTJA – ITTRATTA
Ħu ħsieb tas-saħħa sesswali tiegħek bi prattiki tas-sess aktar sikuri:
✔️ Il-kunsens huwa importanti – l-użu ta’ ċerti sustanzi jista’ jaffettwa l-ġudizzju️ ✔️ Uża kondom ġdid għal kull att sesswali jew partner ✔️ Iprattika iġjene tajba qabel u wara s-sess (ġenitali, a**li, orali, idejn)* ✔️ Żomm il-ġugarelli tas-sess nodfa u għall-użu personali biss ✔️ Ittestja regolarment, speċjalment meta jkollok partners ġodda ✔️ Illimita n-numru ta’ partners ✔️ Staqsi dwar il-PrEP jew il-PEP għall-prevenzjoni tal-HIV ✔️ Ikkunsidra l-vaċċini ta’ kontra l-HPV, l-Epatite A, u l-Epatite B
*🦷 Iġjene orali tajba hija importanti — iżda l-ħin huwa kruċjali!
Evita li tnaddaf snienek jew li tuża dental floss qabel jew wara s-sess orali. Qatgħat żgħar fil-ħalq jagħmluha aktar faċli għall-HIV u għal STIs oħra biex jidħlu fid-demm.
🔑 Il-kunsens, il-komunikazzjoni, u l-protezzjoni huma essenzjali!

🇬🇧 How to Prevent STIs?
TALK – TEST – TREAT 💬
Take charge of your s*xual health with safer s*x practices:
✔️ Consent matters – substance use can affect judgment
✔️ Use a new condom for every s*xual act or partner
✔️ Practise good hygiene before and after s*x (ge***al, a**l, oral, hands)*
✔️ Keep s*x toys clean and for personal use only
✔️ Get tested, especially when you have new partners
✔️ Limit the number of s*xual partners
✔️ Ask about PrEP or PEP for HIV prevention
✔️ Consider vaccines against HPV, Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B
*🦷 Good oral hygiene is important — but timing matters!
Avoid brushing or flossing immediately before or after oral s*x. Small cuts in the mouth make it easier for HIV and other STIs to enter the bloodstream.
🔑 Consent, communication, and protection are key!
