A NEW STUDY has shown that that majority of people in Ireland have never had a sexual health check-up or test.
A series of reasons were put forward by the 70 per cent of people who said they’ve never had a test with over half saying it is because they are in a committed relationship.
32 per cent are not concerned about their sexual health and 23 percent said they always engage in protected sex. Women are more likely than men to go for an STI test, the survey also found.
The cost of contraception was cited as a problem by almost three quarters of participants in the study who said it was too expensive. This was most prevalent among women.
Over 12,000 people were found to be infected with some form of STI other than HIV last year with more than 6,221 infected with Chlamydia which often presents no symptoms.
Have you ever had an STI test?

Kermit ended it with miss piggy not the other way around.
@Aidan McCormack: Exactly. She couldn’t possibly have announced it as she had a frog in her throat.
@Aidan McCormack: Straight facts.
@Aidan McCormack: they were on a break…
Last question is a trick question, its not a frog but a toad. Since when is hypnotoad a frog?
@NClybourn: quiz compiler stared at it and was mesmerised into believing it was a frog. Obey the Hypnofrog….
Still can’t read the results on dark mode!
The only reliable thing I know about frogs is that they taste remarkably like chicken
8 out of 10
