Examples of STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, and HIV.   

About 16% of Australians report having a sexually transmitted infection in their lifetime, while over 23,000 Australians currently live with HIV, according to the Australian Government Department of Health.  

In most Australian states, if you have certain STIs, you are legally obliged to inform your sexual partner/s so they can get tested and treated.

While she is slated to appear on the upcoming season of Bachelor In Paradise, sources claim she was booted from the show within the first few days.

Sexually Transmitted Infections 

What is an STI? 

A Sexually Transmitted Infection, often referred to a STI, is an infection passed from one person to another through sexual contact.   

Examples of STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, and HIV. 

Are they dangerous?  

While bacterial STIs are usually curable, they can cause significant health complications if left untreated. 

For example, some STIs can damage men and women’s reproductive systems. 

Should you tell someone if you have an STI?  

In most Australian states, if you have certain STIs, you are legally obliged to inform your sexual partner/s.   

In NSW, a person who has an STI and fails to take 'reasonable precautions' against spreading the STI can face up to 6 months in prison and/or an $11,000 fine.
