If you can’t get 13/15 on this basic sexual health quiz then you shouldn’t be having sex

This is essential knowledge people


Freshers is fast approaching which means everyone is going to be shagging. But before you jump into bed with your new flatmate (never a wise move) you need to make sure you have as much basic sexual health knowledge as possible.

If we’re being honest no one was really listening during biology and PSHE lessons in school when sexual health came up which means we missed out on key information about STIs and contraception. Or maybe your school didn’t even include these essential topics in their curriculum putting you and your health at a serious disadvantage.

Before going to Freshers where you will inevitably sleep with a bunch of new people, you need to be clued up on the different types of STIs, how transmittable they are, the symptoms and how to get tested after you inevitably sleep with someone after a night out and forget the condom.

To find out how much you really know about sexual health we’ve devised a quiz that covers common STIs and contraception. If you don’t get practically full marks then I’d consider not heading back with that rugby player on night one.

Take this quiz to test your sexual health knowledge:
