A perpetrator might knowingly or unknowingly expose a survivor to an STI. If you're worried about your sexual health after an assault, you can access support through an ISVA or SARC. You don’t need to report to the police to get help.

For many survivors, visiting a clinic can feel (re-)traumatising. Services like @brookcharity.bsky.social offer free, confidential STI kits by post in many UK regions. Check your eligibility online.
We mark #SHW25 #SexualHealthWeek and want you to know that you can reach out to us if you need to.
