Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common skin-to-skin infection that is transmitted through s*xual contact.
HPV is very common and some strains of the virus may cause genital warts in some people. These are fleshy growths or lumps found around the genitals and an*s.
Most HPV , do not cause any symptoms, and clear up without treatment. However, different types of HPV can cause cell changes that can lead to cancers.
There is no simple test for HPV. For people with a cervix, the Cervical Screening Test detects some types of HPV and looks for early changes in the cells of the cervix if HPV is detected.
If you think you have genital warts or HPV, it is recommended that you have a s*xual health check. There is no treatment that gets rid of HPV but the virus is naturally cleared within 1-2 years for most people. Genital warts can be easily treated.
Some types of HPV can be prevented by vaccination. Using c*ndoms reduces the chance of contracting HPV.

Gonorrhoea is a common s*xually transmissable infection (STI) that can be cured with antibiotics.
If not treated properly, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory diseases, which can result in chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy.
If you have gonorrhea, you may toms, but you may also notice:
- pain when urinating
- discharge, or a change in discharge
- bleeding or spotting between periods
- pain during or after s*x
- cramping pain in the lower abdomen
- a sore, dry throat
- pain or discharge from the anus
- discomfort or irritation in your genitals.
Condoms are the best way to prevent gonorrhea. The only way to know that you do not have an infection is to get a s*xual health check.
S*x workers can receive free testing at Crimson Plus, a SW only clinic run by Respect Inc. Respect Inc may also be able to help you find a SW friendly clinic near you. You can contact info@respectqld.org.au to find out more.

In QLD, all s*x workers and s*x work businesses are covered by work health and safety legislation.
A workplace includes any place where a worker goes or is likely to be while at work. In s*x work, this means any place where s*x workers work.
The person who manages or st ensure that the workplace does not risk the health and safety of any person.
Workplaces should encourage s*x workers to report injuries, and any health and safety hazards.
They should also encourage any suggestions for improvement. This can allow workplaces to reduce the prospect of incidents occurring.
S*x workers can report WHS issues (including non-compliance with a WHS requirement or a health and safety risk) directly to WHSQ, or anonymously via Respect Inc.
You can contact us for more information about your rights and responsibilities, and we can also help you report a WHS issue in your workplace.
