Meningitis (inflammation around the brain/spine) and sepsis (blood poisoning) are life-threatening medical emergencies. Immediate medical attention is vital.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are passed from person to person through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Common types include chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, and herpes.

A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system (kidneys, bladder, or urethra) typically caused by bacteria. Common symptoms include a burning sensation during urination, frequency and cloudy or strong-smelling urine.
