The stigma of STIs stops people from getting tested and speaking about prevention. Fear, shame and lack of knowledge leads to silence. We need to change this - all around the world.
Unless we eradicate the stigma of STIs we will never overcome the barriers that it creates. Change begins with open, caring communication and education.
Testing is free across Canada at family doctors' offices, walk-in clinics, sexual health clinics, and other public health units and community centres. So why don't more people go?
