FIFERS ARE being urged to take care of their sexual health as they celebrate the festive season.
Excessive alcohol consumption can sometimes lead to people taking unneccessary risks and having sex they might later regret.
Dr Lorna Watson, chairwoman of Fife Sexual Health Strategy Group, said: “Whilst we want everyone to enjoy Christmas and New Year, we also want people to stay safe.
“The last thing you want as a reminder of the festive season is a sexually transmitted infection (STI), blood-borne virus such as HIV, or an unwanted pregnancy.
“Be safe and always use a condom, especially if you have a new partner.”
Drop-in clinics and booked appointments are on offer in a number of locations across Fife.
Services include advice and support on sexual health concerns, pregnancy testing, STI testing and treatment, contraception advice and emergency contraception.
Appointments can be booked by calling 01592 647979 between 8.30am and 1pm, Monday to Friday.
A specialist advice line is also available Monday to Friday, from 11.30am to 1.30pm, on 01592 729260.
