Thank you for helping us promote the importance of sexual health care. While COVID-19 restrictions are continuing to impact the availability of STI tests, we’ve developed a suite of resources for you to share to support this campaign among your stakeholders and community to “TALK, TEST & TREAT”.
Rates of STI cases in Victoria continue to increase with the highest number of notified STI cases in 2019 since records began in 1991. To address increases in STIs – including syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia and HIV, the Multicultural Health & Support Service has been engaged by the Victorian Government’s Department of Health to lead the CALD campaign for STI testing week.

Talking about Sexually Transmitted Infections may feel a little bit embarrassing, but while there’s just the two of us listening, should YOU have an STI test?
The infection rates for chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhoea are at record levels, yet so many young adults believe there is little chance of getting an STI.
If you’re sexually active get an STI test EVERY 12 months at your local doctor or health service.
They’re simple, uncomplicated and can prevent an infection turning into something much worse.
Go to talktesttreat.org.au for more information about getting tested.
