Description

This poster provides information on the outcomes of a project that explored young Indigenous peoples' views on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and bloodborne viruses (BBVs). The project found young people in Townsville value their health and understand the importance of protecting themselves against STIs and BBVs. In addition to including the project outcomes, this poster also includes information on safe sexual practices and encourages youths to have regular sexual health checks.
