Book a doctor’s appointment instead of doing your own research
A quick lesson in algorithms: the images that appear first on TikTok or Google are the ones that have gotten the most clicks. They’re often the most shocking images, not the most realistic ones.
Avoid unnecessary panic and take the direct route to real answers (and treatment, if needed) by making an appointment for a medical exam instead!

Tip #2
Book a medical appointment, and not a screening
If you think you have symptoms of an STBBI, don’t make an appointment for a screening. Instead, book a medical appointment with a doctor who can examine you, make a diagnosis, and prescribe the necessary treatment.
Screening is used to detect STBBIs that have no apparent symptoms.
Tip #3
Save your questions for the pros
The internet is a valuable source of information, and we understand the instinct to turn to it for answers.
However, having access to a wealth of information isn’t the same as having access to reliable and accurate information. Shocking or sensationalist content is often promoted to drive clicks, not to inform people.
If something intrigues you or causes doubt, jot down your questions and discuss them with a healthcare professional at your next appointment.
