Do i have a sti

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) - NHS

If you're worried because you think you've got an STI, go for a check-up at a sexual health clinic as soon as you can.

Do not have sex, including oral sex, without using a condom until you've had a check-up.

You can have an STI without knowing it and infect your partner during sex.

STI symptoms

The symptoms of an STI can include:

an unusual discharge from the vagina, penis or anus
pain when peeing
lumps or skin growths around the genitals or bottom (anus)
a rash
unusual vaginal bleeding
itchy genitals or anus
blisters and sores around your genitals or anus
warts around your genitals or anus
warts in your mouth or throat, but this is very rare

Non-urgent advice: Go to a sexual health clinic if:

you have symptoms of an STI
a sexual partner has symptoms of an STI
you're worried after having sex without a condom
you're pregnant with symptoms of an STI

Many STIs have no symptoms at all, like HIV. The only way to know for sure is to get tested.

Find a sexual health clinic

Why you should go to a sexual health clinic

You can see a GP, but they'll probably refer you to a sexual health clinic if they think you may have an STI.

Sexual health clinics treat problems with the genitals and urine system. You can usually turn up without an appointment.

You'll often get test results quicker than from the GP and you may not have to pay a prescription fee for treatment.

You can feel comfortable sharing information about your sexual activities or orientation with a doctor. You do not need to give your real name or tell staff who the GP is if you do not want to.

No information about your visit to the clinic will be shared with the GP or anyone else outside the clinic unless you ask for it to be.

You can ask to see a female or male doctor or nurse if you wish.

What happens at a sexual health clinic

At a sexual health clinic, a doctor or nurse:

will ask you some questions about your sex life
may ask to look at your genitals or anus
will tell you what tests they think you need

Some clinics offer home testing kits for some STIs.

If tests show you have an STI, you should tell your sexual partner and any ex-partners so they can get tested and treated as well.

If you do not want to do this, the clinic can usually do it for you without naming you.

Common types of STI

Types of STI include:

Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Trichomoniasis
Genital warts
Genital herpes
Pubic lice
Scabies
Syphilis
Human papillomavirus (HPV)

Thank you my angel, thank you guardian
For protecting my soul
And at the hour when all the threads can break
You will take a needle and sew it gently.
Forgive me angel, sometimes I force you,
I suffer from my actions
Forgive me angel, I just don't know
How to live and be able to forgive everything.
You will say - it's not true, I know - you will say
That my heart is far from granite,
That you are always there, that you understand everything
After all, there is a transparent thread between us.

***

Thank you for being you,
For your spring voice
Comes as good news
In moments of resentment and doubt.
Thank you for the sincere look,
Which you give only to me.
My pains lurk in you,
With you I live like in a dream.

Thank you for being you,
Through all the partings and deadlines
Some hidden currents
Suddenly they will remind you again - you are here.
You are here on Earth.
And everywhere I hear your voice and laughter
And I know that next to me
My dearest person!

Thank you for remembering me
That you never forget me,
That you remind me of spring in autumn,
In winter you dream of summer with me.

Thank you for giving me friendship,
Even if only in words, at a distance,
Thank you for coming again today,
Yours from the heart... wish!

Thank you for the smile and the dream,
For remembering me often,
For all your warmth and kindness,
And for devoting time to me.

Have time to say thank you
For everything that was. .. What you are.
I've made so many mistakes
I can't count them in my life...

I've made so many attempts
Forget and start again from scratch...
Enough. Overabundance.
As they say - voila.

I blamed the time so many times,
I put it off for later,
Referring to my problems:
Work, children, money, home...

I searched for happiness so many times.
Happiness was just a stone's throw away...
And I'm sure, in part,
The reason for this is eternal fear...

But sometimes I feel like it
Say thank you... and leave...
You filled the void inside
And only you were loved!

***

Thank you to those to whom I give love!..
Thank you to those who are imbued with respect!..
Thank you to those who forgive us again!..
Thank you to those who are well brought up!..
Thank you to mom
Thank you to everyone who made me better! meetings and long dates!..
For all the love, warmth!. .
And for your prayers and promises!..

Thank you, my dear,
I tell you everything.
I don't know how to live without you.
With you I live in paradise.
All day about the family in worries:
Cooking, washing, sewing.
But there is still work -
And you give yourself to it.
I don't know by what measure
I can repay you,
I can only with the same faith
Protect and love you.

***

Thank you! Thank you very much
For the fact that you are near at the appointed hour!
For the fact that you smile beautifully
And for the warmth of your deep eyes!

Thank you for the sunrises and sunsets,
For the meetings and partings for a long moment...
For the overflowing peals of thunder,
For the fact that I achieved happiness with you!

Thank you for the wonderful moments,
For all the words and warmth for the souls!..
Thank you for your touches!
Oh, how lucky I am with you!

Thank you, dear,
For the baby that sleeps in the crib.
Thank you, my dear,
For sweet nights.

And I am not afraid of all adversity.
Thank you for the whisper: "I love you" -
He warms me in the cold.

For being loved by you,
For the fact that the blood is agitated...

Thank you for being able to live!

Thank you so much for your patience,
Thank you so much for your hard work!
I hasten to say thank you with zeal
For the fact that you are next to me in my life!

Thank you sunset, thank you dawn,
Thanks to all people on the good Earth!
Thanks to rain, clouds, snowfall,
Thanks to a smile, a cheerful look!
Thank you for the road running through the valley. ..
Thank you for the ditty and the epic song!
Thanks to my beloved, teacher, friend,
Give us a hand that is wholeheartedly ready.
Thanks to the dream and thanks to the hope,
Giving us the strength to dream, as before!
Thanks to simple, not envious birds:
Crows, swifts, sparrows and tits.
Thank you invisible tiny atom...
Thank you people living nearby!

Mom... A seemingly simple word,
And how much tenderness, affection, warmth is in it,
The child mumbles it senselessly,
Spreading his arms, swollen from sleep.
In sorrow and in joy we pronounce,
Now timid "Mother", then sharp "Mother".
Sometimes, in a foreign land, the heart will suddenly ask for
To call a completely unfamiliar mother.
And at home we hurt her so often
By actions, looks, gestures we,
Then in the distance we involuntarily remember
About what added to her gray hair.
And we hurriedly write on school papers
Confessions of our belated guilt.
She reads them, blushes bashfully,
And tears are visible in bitter wrinkles.
For a long time, without a letter, she forgave all the insults,
And then she was painfully pleased to read:
"Thank you, dear, for raising me,
For what you love, For what you are!

It doesn't matter who, but thank you.0003 You came like good news,
When it was drizzling on the soul.

But the joy of a happy heart.

Swaying with your soul like a forest,

God granted my requests for a miracle...

You are my life! I love you so much.

You were my pipe dream,
That sweet, kind, gentle dream.
So brightly shining, a distant star,
That warms the soul more and more every day.
You became my well-deserved victory,
A beacon of hope in the darkness of all life's threats
My random light amulet,
What will save me from troubles, hardships and tears.

***

You shine for me like the moon
Illuminate my way in the night
I want to be with you, always
Hug and love you
I want to wake up with you
Wake me up with a kiss in the morning
Dissolve into you with my soul
Me and I will give my life for you.

***

Thank you for loving you
Even if unrequited.
Thank you, you have become a friend to me
There is no happier me.
You are near, you are always with me
I enjoy you during the day
I communicate with you at night.
I smile day after day.
And I cry day and night.

Thank you for being you - words of gratitude in verse

Thank you for being you!
I want to now and here
Tell you about it,
And wish you happiness!
You are the light in my eyes,
The smile on my lips!
You are joy and love!

Thank heavens,
For giving us
to meet each other,
And the main thing is to understand!
Always know this!

You came into the world as a fairy tale,
There are no more like them in the world!
