Number of STI infections among young people is increasing

According to the NOS, the number of STI infections among young people is increasing. Experts are concerned that many young people are getting their information about sex and STIs from social media, where misinformation spreads quickly. This can lead to misunderstandings about symptoms, risks and the importance of testing.

Healthcare professionals also notice that some young people wait too long before getting tested or underestimate the risks of unprotected sex. Regular STI testing and access to reliable information remain important to help prevent further spread and detect infections at an early stage.
