🚨 STIs in Japan are rising. Please do not ignore this.
If you live in Japan, especially in places like Beppu where many international students and foreign residents live, s*xual health awareness is very important. People come from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds, so we must be more responsible about our health and our partners’ health. 💙
Many STIs do not show symptoms at first. A person can look healthy, feel healthy, and still carry an infection. That is why guessing is dangerous.
If you had unprotected s*x, do not panic. But please take action. ✅
You should:
🔹 Avoid s*x with a new partner until you get checked
🔹 Visit a clinic, ladies’ clinic, urology department, hospital, or public health center
🔹 Use condoms with new partners until both people are tested
🔹 Get checked before having s*x with your next partner
In Beppu and Oita, you can ask local clinics or the Oita Prefecture Eastern Public Health Center. Some public health centers offer free and anonymous testing, but you should call first and make a reservation. 📞
Private home testing is also possible. You can order self-collection test kits online, collect the sample at home, send it back to the lab, and receive results depending on the service. This can feel easier for people who are shy, worried about privacy, or uncomfortable visiting a clinic.

Some STIs can be treated. Some, like herpes, can stay in the body and come back. HIV emergency treatment may be possible after exposure, but it must start quickly, usually within 72 hours. Do not wait if you are worried. ⏰
Testing is not shameful. Testing is responsible.
Using condoms is not distrustful. It is respect.🤝❤️
