Sexual health on your travelsSea, sun, sand and STIs Dr Seb writes... "There is no combination more ideal for meeting a new partner; sun, beach, cheap alcohol and nothing else to worry about. Sexually Transmitted Infections are on the rise, not just amongst young people back home, but even more so amongst young travellers. Research has shown that over 50% of travellers have sex with more than two partners whilst out on the road. Some infections are more serious than others. Some infections produce symptoms straight away, like gonorrhoea. Others may linger on for many years without any symptoms, like chlamydia. Chlamydia can cause infertility many years later, when the holiday romance has long been forgotten. Before you get passionate with you new found love, there should be one more thing on your mind: safe sex. Be sure to use condoms, so there is nothing more to worry about in your pants than the sand."
