Choices and rights

It's your choice:

• by choosing to have less sexual partners, you will lower your risk of getting HIV and STIs
• by practicing safer sex (eg using condoms) you can avoid most sexually transmitted diseases to a large extent
• If they are diagnosed and treated early, most STIs can be cured - so choose to get checked out
• 38% of African born men living in the UK do not know they have HIV. It's better to know - so get tested. Why is it better to know? [link to ????]

• when and where you have sex

• who you have sex with
• being able to change your mind at any point
• saying no
• saying yes
