If around your anus is itchy, it may mean that you’ve got an STI. Common STIs that can live in the anus include gonorrhoea or anal warts. If you’re worried about having contracted an STI, or have any sypmtons, you should get a sexual health screen from your doctor, local sexual health clinic, Family Planning clinic or nearest NZAF Centre.
The best way to avoid STIs is to use a condom and lube every time you have sex. They offer the best protection against HIV and other STIs. For tips on how to put on a condom, go watch the video.
