Responsible Sexual Health during the Carnival season.
The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition is encouraging people who will be participating in Carnival events and activities to practice responsible sexual health by always carrying protection, that is condoms in the event a person finds themselves in unexpected situations; avoid risky behaviors such as casual and unprotected sex especially when judgement is impaired by alcohol or other substances; and visit a healthy facility or doctor to get screened and tested for an STI or HIV. Senior Medical Officer for Infectious Diseases Dr. Gail Gajadhar highlighted the importance of maintaining responsible sexual health.
