0:00:02 > 0:00:07This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11More young people than ever are catching sexually transmitted infections.
0:00:11 > 0:00:19And Britain's STI clinics are the first stop for anyone
0:00:19 > 0:00:23You've got a bit of a discharge
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Are you nervous? Yeah.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26I should know better, really.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29This series goes behind the doors of two clinics...
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Bit cold, as you know, OK?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35..in two very different cities. .
0:00:35 > 0:00:38We are a bit mental but we're not judgmental!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Watch it!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43..Leeds, with its huge student population...
0:00:43 > 0:00:47People are having a lot of sex and it's pretty much all unprotected sex.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49God gave you a minge -
0:00:49 > 0:00:50use it!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Why are we not looking after Little Ollie?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54What's he'd done to upset you?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57..and Exeter, in the heart of the Devon countryside.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59This is Exeter, mate, everyone sleeps with everyone.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Condoms for sex? No.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Getting a sexually transmitted infection from a farm animal.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10We help bring patients to get checked out... I want my mum!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I've trusted people that I shouldn't have. Oh, my God.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I'm just hoping and praying that I haven't got anything.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19..before following them home.. 12 months?
0:01:19 > 0:01:2020 partners?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23That's well shocked me. ..to find out how getting tested...
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Your results from your recent visit are...
0:01:26 > 0:01:28..affects their health...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30You were positive to chlamydia
0:01:30 > 0:01:33CHEERING ..their relationships...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Why would you need to carry on coming and taking the tests
0:01:36 > 0:01:39if you're not sleeping with anyone but me?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40..and their sex lives.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43She wanted it so bad.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50This week, on Unsafe Sex In The City...
0:01:50 > 0:01:52OK, thank you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55In Leeds, 20-year-old Heather has a problem down below.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I think the hardest bit for this is walking afterwards.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Ollie is worried an STI might ruin his holiday.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06By shoving your penis into a woman without a condom,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09you can catch HIV, hepatitis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14I think I'll just take them as they come, literally!
0:02:14 > 0:02:22And in Exeter, staff take chlamydia testing on a night out...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Good evening, Devon!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26If I've had, like, unprotected sex with someone,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28it's always on my mind.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I'm always thinking, like, "Shit!"
0:02:37 > 0:02:39It's first thing in the morning
0:02:39 > 0:02:44and Leeds Sexual Health Clinic is preparing to open its doors
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Lovely, isn't it? We're up earlier than birds.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51But before clinic can begin, housekeeper Leslie gets to work
0:02:51 > 0:02:53You get all sorts in here -
0:02:53 > 0:02:56businessmen, lots of students,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59transgender...which are very nice people.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02There's a lot more sex
0:03:02 > 0:03:04going on nowadays than there were
0:03:04 > 0:03:06when I were younger, I find.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10A lot of these young ones think having sex with everybody
0:03:10 > 0:03:12is just fun.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15They just come in here, laughing their heads off
0:03:15 > 0:03:17and bragging about what they've done and what they haven't done.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21And I think, basically, a lot of it is women and girls
0:03:21 > 0:03:23They brag about it more than blokes.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Dirty girls!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31The patients tend to blow Durex up and leave them all over the place.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Write on the ceiling, write on the seats -
0:03:34 > 0:03:36so-and-so and so-and-so has clap,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38so-and-so and so-and-so has herpes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39No respect, the lot of them.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42SHE WHISPERS: Excuse me.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45In my generation, sex weren't even talked about.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I was a good girl!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49A very good girl.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54But the staff on the front line love nothing more than talking about sex.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Obviously love muscle.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Safe sex, that is.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01HE WHISTLES
0:04:01 > 0:04:03And staff nurse Tim is stocking up
0:04:03 > 0:04:06on the free gifts offered to all patients.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11This is our condom store. Extra safe, elite and flavoured
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Part of our role is to do a condom demonstration.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I mean, trick is to treat it like a Mexican sombrero hat
0:04:18 > 0:04:19You've got a ridge, so that's how you know
0:04:19 > 0:04:24that you're putting it the right way round.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Like so.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30And that's when the fun begins
0:04:30 > 0:04:33and he's used to the usual excuses.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35"I can't feel anything while I'm having sex."
0:04:35 > 0:04:37"Condoms are just rubbish."
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Erm, and I suppose the third one is,
0:04:40 > 0:04:44"I turned up with one and the girl said, 'Don't worry about it.'"
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Some guys do say that they're not big enough.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I mean, some guys are more endowed than others,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52but I've seen guys put these over their head.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54So I've never really understood that argument -
0:04:54 > 0:04:55that they're not big enough.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59If it can fit over a man's head surely it can fit over your penis.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05One of the first patients on Tim's list is 18-year-old Ollie,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07accompanied by best mate Jack.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09'I came because'
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I had unprotected sex
0:05:11 > 0:05:13and it's probably better
0:05:13 > 0:05:14to be safe than sorry, really,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16so I thought I'd come to get checked out.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I've probably only used contraception four or five times,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22something like that. Yeah.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'm nervous. I just don't like needles.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27INDISTINCT SPEECH Oh, God, don't talk about it
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Ollie? Yeah. Hi, mate. Come on
0:05:31 > 0:05:33With A-levels out of the way,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Ollie's off on his first mates-only holiday to Spain.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41And an STI is the last thing he wants to take with him.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44My son's called Ollie, so that's easy. Right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47So you've had unprotected sex on several occasions? Yeah.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49All right, okey-dokey.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You've not slept with anybody knowingly with an STI,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54sexually transmitted infection, no?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Ever had sex with a man? No.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00How are you doing with your condom use?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Not very well, at the moment.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03No. Is there any particular reason for that, Ollie?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Eh, spur of the moment, more than anything. Is it alcohol-fuelled
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Yeah, usually. I'm looking at you, Ollie... Uh-huh.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11You're well groomed.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12I'm sure you do take care of yourself
0:06:12 > 0:06:14in certain aspects of your life
0:06:14 > 0:06:16but why are we not looking after Little Ollie?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20What's he'd done to upset you?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Cos he's your best mate and if you don't look after him
0:06:22 > 0:06:24he can't look after you. Can he
0:06:24 > 0:06:26He does look after me, though. He does a good job.
0:06:26 > 0:06:26Yeah, but you're not looking after him
0:06:26 > 0:06:30so where's the mutual respect there? Sorry, Little Ollie.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33But seriously, you need to start looking after Little Ollie
0:06:33 > 0:06:34cos if you don't, nobody else is going to.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37We do know that by shoving your penis into a woman,
0:06:37 > 0:06:38without a condom,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40or a guy for that matter,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42you can also catch HIV,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45hepatitis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48OK. STIs can also be passed on by skin-to-skin contact.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50You mean like kissing? Not kissing.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm on about fingering, licking -
0:06:52 > 0:06:54all those sort of things that you like.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56THEY LAUGH
0:06:56 > 0:06:58But rubber up cos we know that you know,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01lowers your risks tremendously Uh-huh, OK.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03All right, bud. Thanks, that's your lecture over.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06You're a good lad for listening Cheers, sir. OK.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Just concentrate on your breathing for me. OK.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Ollie will be tested today for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And if you catch gonorrhoea, it's a shot in your backside. Oh!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21In my arse? Yeah. OK. Do you want any condoms today, Ollie?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Yeah, go on then. Are you going to Magaluf with him? Yes
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Oh, well, there's two packets of condoms for you as well. Oh
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I have a girlfriend, mate, but OK. Your faces have been noted.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34If I see you back here, you're in trouble.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37With his results due just before he goes away,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40they'll either make or break his holiday mood.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42If I do have something before I go away,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45then it'd put a damper on the holiday, a lot.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Will he behave himself on holiday?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Doubtful, isn't it?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51TELEPHONE RINGS
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Good morning, Leeds Centre for Sexual Health
0:07:54 > 0:07:57TANNOY: 'Please proceed to counter number two, thank you.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Hiya, come for the walk-in?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02The hot summer isn't putting people off getting tested,
0:08:02 > 0:08:07with around 100 people passing through the clinic doors on any day.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Yeah, that's fine. If you take a seat in the waiting room,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11you'll be called from there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Next up for staff to see is 20-year-old Heather,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16with a niggling problem down below.
0:08:16 > 0:08:22I've basically come for a checkup and I've come to get some warts removed.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Heather?
0:08:23 > 0:08:35The warts themselves are really itchy and when they get too out of control,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Heather has just started a new relationship
0:08:38 > 0:08:42and doesn't want her warts interfering in the bedroom.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44How long have you had your warts for?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I can't remember the exact date but it's been about a year.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52OK, any other rash, lumps or ulcers that you're worried about?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Em, I've got a little rash,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56but I think it's heat rash. Right, OK.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59And do you sweat a lot in...there? Yeah. OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01When was the last time you had sex?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04About two weeks ago. Two weeks ago.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I didn't have sex for a while, you see,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09and I'm with a new partner as it is. OK.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14And we've had sex twice in the last couple of months.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Do you have vaginal sex?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19What do you mean? Normal sex.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Just normal sex? Yeah. OK.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Any anal sex?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Erm...we did try it, but I didn't like it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30And any oral sex?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32No. OK.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Come with me.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Doctor Nadia needs to use liquid nitrogen
0:09:39 > 0:09:41to freeze off Heather's genital warts.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51You OK? Yeah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Feels nice to have a bit of cold down there.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Can I have that for my armpits as well?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Think the hardest bit for this is walking afterwards.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Yeah, it stings a bit, doesn't it? But it wears off.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Really common.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Really, really common.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14But people don't talk about it
0:10:14 > 0:10:15I know.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Upon closer inspection, Dr Nadia is concerned there may be more going on
0:10:21 > 0:10:23for Heather than just warts.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You've got some blisters and spots.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29I need to take an extra swab and that is to make sure
0:10:29 > 0:10:32that you haven't got anything like herpes on top of it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Oh, right. Yeah, yeah.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43OK, so we've taken this for herpes and we'll have a chat about that.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46So I'm just going to do a bit more tests than normal
0:10:46 > 0:10:49because you've got a bit of a discharge as well, OK?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57OK? Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59OK, you can get dressed now.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04It's just like painful blisters that you've had for about a week.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09So at this point, we are... That it's a suspected herpes. All right?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I have done a swab to send off to the lab to confirm it, OK?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17She had a discharge
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and it was quite offensive in odour.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23So, we're looking for different things.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26It sounds like herpes, but in a few days, we'll get the results
0:11:26 > 0:11:29back from the lab to confirm if it is or not.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Worst-case scenario is herpes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34If it is confirmed,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38it'll be something that I'll have to discuss with my partner.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Heather only started going out with her boyfriend a few months ago
0:11:41 > 0:11:44With a suspected dose of herpes
0:11:44 > 0:11:47their relationship could be facing a tricky hurdle.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01300 miles away, in the Devonshire countryside,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Exeter Sexual Health Clinic are experiencing
0:12:03 > 0:12:06one of their busiest summers ever.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's someone who's possibly got pubic lice. I just need to have a...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'm not going to do any swabs, I just need to have a look.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Senior nurse Laurance is having a particularly testing time.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Crabs is the common vernacular
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Hello, Mr Crab.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32They're not painful, they just make people feel a bit yuck.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38Hello, Mr Crab,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Wow. He's tensing up now. It's like something out of Alien, isn't it?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44It is nice to watch them moving around.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46He's still moving, he's still alive.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49They make us itch. When we see people who've got them, we start itching
0:12:49 > 0:12:51for the rest of the afternoon.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Next patient to be seen by Laurance is 20-year-old local farmer Greg.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Greg, do you want to come on down this way?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Greg has a pain in his groin
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and his new girlfriend won't have sex with him until it's sorted
0:13:12 > 0:13:15So tell me what's going on. What can we do for you?
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Um, basically I've got...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Feel a lot of pain my testicles at the moment
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and I wouldn't mind just an STI check as well, cos I've had
0:13:22 > 0:13:27a change from an old partner to a new partner, so just be tickety boo.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30How long have you had the pain for?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32About a week now. OK.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Feels like a pinching pain.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And have you noticed any other symptoms going with that?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Does it sting or burn when you pee?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Not too bad when I pee, but sometimes
0:13:41 > 0:13:43when you finish off the pee, it feels a little...
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Looks a little bit like a milky discharge or something.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Can I ask you when you last had sex?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Four months ago, something like that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You haven't had sex with anyone for four months? Yeah. OK.
0:13:56 > 0:14:02The new partner, well, she sent me in here. OK, OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Now, in the past you've had warts, haven't you?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07And you were going to have some treatment for those.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Have those all gone now?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I think I've just got one wart as in... Just never went? OK.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18So, what I want to do is have a look at your testicles,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21take a sample from the end of your penis to see if there's any sign
0:14:21 > 0:14:23of anything going on there
0:14:23 > 0:14:25and we'll also have a look and see what the warts are doing.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28So is it OK if I have a look at those now?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Genital warts like Greg's are the most common viral STI
0:14:31 > 0:14:39amongst young people.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I'll just bring the light over. .
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Let's just have a little prod about.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52I'm not sure that there's a wart left there, it's just a bit of...
0:14:52 > 0:14:56skin flap from a bit of old haemorrhoid or something. Yeah, yeah.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I would say you're clear of warts. Ideal.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Farmer Greg may not be showing any visible signs of warts,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05but he can't get back to sowing his wild oats just yet.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's not very normal to have another bloke standing there
0:15:08 > 0:15:10feeling your testicles at the best of times but...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12what does that feel like?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14The left one hurts a little bit
0:15:14 > 0:15:17He needs to have swabs taken from his penis for gonorrhoea
0:15:17 > 0:15:21and chlamydia, which may explain his symptoms.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25OK, that's fine, that's all done, you can pull your things up now, OK?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30So this new partner that you haven't had sex with yet,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32is that someone you've had sex with in the past?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34No. It's not. So...
0:15:34 > 0:15:38what makes you think you've got a problem now?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I don't know, really.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Just one of they things, whether I could have knocked it,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44just I want to be starting to know what's going on?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45OK, OK.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Greg now has a two-week wait to find out whether he's free from STIs
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Thank you. Cheers then, bye.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55And free to finally have sex with his new girlfriend.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59We're looking for any infectious causes.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Infections like chlamydia or gonorrhoea that could have
0:16:02 > 0:16:06caused infection in the tubing around the testis.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11When you get people with kind of vague, now and then aching,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14it gets quite difficult, really and I think probably a lot of men
0:16:14 > 0:16:17get that from time to time without any real...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I think it's just a hazard of being a man.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You get achy balls now and then
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I think there's no man who goes through life without having
0:16:25 > 0:16:30testicular pain from time to time of a non-sexually transmitted nature.
0:16:30 > 0:16:36The difficulty is sorting out the men from the boys.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46In Leeds, Ollie's about to embark on his first mates-only
0:16:46 > 0:16:47holiday in Spain.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49He's got the name Shagger Muff
0:16:49 > 0:16:51so I'm hoping he's going to live up to his name.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55You know Ben, from college? Yeah. He went last year and he actually said,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59"It's harder to not get with someone than to actually get with someone."
0:16:59 > 0:17:02He said you have to go out of your way to not get with someone.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Definitely wants to get laid on the beach, though.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Who doesn't want to get laid on the beach?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I don't want to get sand up my Jap's eye.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Being the only single man in the group,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Ollie's had his fair share of luck with the ladies of late.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21He has a way.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26He does have a certain way. I don't know what his way is, but it works.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29ME MUMBLES
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Buy you a burger! OK!
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Just constant niggling. Persistence is the key to success.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Despite his laddish reputation
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Ollie hasn't always been the soul singleton in the group.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I started seeing this girl and she dropped this bombshell
0:17:46 > 0:17:48that she was doing it with, you know,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51ten, 11 other people at once, maybe 12 people, I think.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52And kind of hard not to cry.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Like, I was actually genuinely holding back tears.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00I just felt really low down and just so small and claustrophobic.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yeah, it wasn't nice. Wasn't a nice feeling.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06If your results come back positive,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09is it going to change anything for you? Well...
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Like, in Magaluf? I don't think it will necessarily change anything.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Yeah, but you could give someone whatever you've got.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18What's the target for next week I don't really have a target.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'll just take them as they come, literally.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22THEY LAUGH AND GROAN
0:18:22 > 0:18:26But will Ollie get the all clear he wants for his Magaluf mission?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Heather's been going out with Adam for the last two months.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Thank you, babe.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I've pretty much loved him for a while.
0:18:41 > 0:18:47Erm, there's not really a negative about him.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49and I'll tell you when I believe you.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51'It's still the honeymoon season for us.'
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Come on!
0:18:53 > 0:18:55But Heather's recent trip to the clinic
0:18:55 > 0:18:58has the potential to end honeymoon season with a bang.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Basically, they're saying it could be herpes,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04what my blisters are,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06and I've got to go back in two weeks.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09You could go and get checked, if you wanted to.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I think there's a reasonable chance
0:19:11 > 0:19:13of catching herpes if Heather's got it.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Would it be advised? Yes. Yes.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20If it is, we'll just take it one step at a time.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22As soon as her results are back
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Heather will be returning to the clinic.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28But will her blossoming relationship be put under pressure?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Is there coffee made? Yes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Ooh!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Might have instant. Eurgh! SHE LAUGHS
0:19:45 > 0:19:48In Exeter, nurse adviser Abbey is prepped
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and ready for her next appointment, but lacks one thing.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I've got a full list, but it looks like my first patient's a DNA.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58She's got one minute to get here!
0:19:58 > 0:20:02The Exeter clinic has around 3 DNAs, or Do Not Attends, a week
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Thankfully, 18-year-old Alex is not one of them.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Hello! Have a seat in the waiting room.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11This one in here? Awesome, thank you.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15The charity worker has come to the clinic with man troubles.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16I'm single at the moment.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18The last guy I was with told me
0:20:18 > 0:20:21he'd slept with quite a few more people than I thought he had.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So, yeah, he was a bit of a slag.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27He was a bit of a man slag, and then, obviously,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29if I have got something, I can let him know,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and hopefully, he will stop sleeping with lots of people as well.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Alex? Yes, hi.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Do you want to come through?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Alex has had ten sexual partners since her last chlamydia test,
0:20:39 > 0:20:44nine months ago, so is well due a checkup.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I'm Abbey, I'm one of the nurses. How can I help you today?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Erm, I just wanted to come in for a chlamydia check, if I could, please.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Okey-dokey. Have you got any symptoms you're worried about today?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56No, just, er...partners.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57OK, fine.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00When was the last time you had sex?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Last night. OK, and who was that with?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06That was my ex-partner.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08OK. And how long were you with your ex for?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Six months. OK.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Condoms, for sex with him?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Not always. OK. Do you take any regular medication?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I'm on the pill. OK, brilliant
0:21:17 > 0:21:20And the last time you had sex with somebody different?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22About a month ago.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24OK, and was that someone you know, or a one-off? Yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27OK. Condoms, for sex with him?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30No. And any particular worries
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Er, yeah, well, yeah, he was a bit of a player, should we say?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35OK. Fine.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Despite her ex-partner's promiscuous ways,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Alex isn't showing any symptoms today.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44So, nurse Abbey can give her a swab to do herself.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Come with me, I'll show you where to do that and where to leave it,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and then you'll be free to go. All right? Yes.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53'It's quite encouraging that a lot of our young girls that we see
0:21:53 > 0:21:55'are sorted with contraception,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58so they're protected against pregnancy, because they don't..
0:21:58 > 0:22:00they see that as more of a problem
0:22:00 > 0:22:03than a sexually transmitted infection.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06But, OK, well, that's not going to stop you getting chlamydia.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09People think they're invincible maybe.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Alex will have to wait two weeks to find out
0:22:12 > 0:22:17whether not using protection has punctured her invincibility
0:22:28 > 0:22:30After his recent trip to the clinic,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34farmer Greg is reaping the benefits of having a wart-free bum.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It got to the stage where they started to be painful,
0:22:37 > 0:22:41which wasn't nice when you're always sitting on it,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44especially doing farm work and always sat on a tractor or something,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46and sat on that, it's not very nice.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Other than warts,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52farmer Greg has luckily dodged any STIs to date.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I've had a few shocks! HE LAUGHS
0:22:55 > 0:22:57We do have our bad reputation.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59The famous club, the Young Farmers, you know,
0:22:59 > 0:23:03sort of going round with each other, and whatnot, and spreading.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04HE LAUGHS
0:23:06 > 0:23:10A few mates are quite keen on hopping from one to the other.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12It's all part of being put on the planet, to have good fun.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Steady! Steady!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16But Greg has a new girlfriend,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18and wants to put his wild ways behind him.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21We've been going out probably about a month now,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25and still taking things slowly like, just building it up.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27You know, we enjoy spending time together.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29But that doesn't mean
0:23:29 > 0:23:32he has the green light from his girlfriend in the bedroom.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34No sex or nothing, for the minute.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39At the end of the day, it's not all about sex, really
0:23:39 > 0:23:42It's building a good relationship first before you jump in, but..
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Yeah, I am male, and I do enjoy it, but it's just one of those things.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You've just got to hold off until you know you're all clear, like
0:23:50 > 0:23:54But when Greg's results come through in a few days' time,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56will they be the ones he's gagging for?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Farmers like Greg represent
0:24:02 > 0:24:05a large proportion of the Exeter clinic's work.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09In an effort to treat more farmers in isolated areas, staff have
0:24:09 > 0:24:13arranged to run a clinic at an upcoming Young Farmers foam party.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18These are the chlamydia screening postal kits. That's the male one.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Health adviser Tess is helping Becky prepare for the event.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26It would be a good idea to take some little freebies, if you wanted to.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29What I would suggest is you take a lot of leaflets.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32We've got some nice little pants. "Tried and tested."
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Do you want me to take any of these ones?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Oh, "Check my bits." Certainly
0:24:36 > 0:24:37We've all got bits.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Erm, where are the sperm?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Sperm, yeah.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45We've got some nice sperm, and they're not real sperm,
0:24:45 > 0:24:51they're sperm key rings. Does this one glow in the dark
0:24:51 > 0:24:54For the Young Farmers, our main purpose for going is,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I think, to have a presence there.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00It's about having information about sexually transmitted infections
0:25:00 > 0:25:02and that everyone is vulnerable to them, and I think
0:25:02 > 0:25:06if we come away with something like that, I think it will be a good day.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09We'll get the boards. We can hang some of the pants up.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13On the night, it'll be health care assistant Becky's job to attract
0:25:13 > 0:25:18farmers away from the dance floor and into taking a chlamydia test.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Shouldn't it be like bunting,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21on the top, with some pants?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Her main distraction method will be free pants.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Everybody wants pants!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I don't have any pants, no.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33I'm more partial to the sperm, myself.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37THEY GIGGLE
0:25:45 > 0:25:46# I'm skankin'
0:25:48 > 0:25:51# I'm skankin'... #
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Lucky pants?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Er, yeah, these are the first pair of pants that made me
0:25:55 > 0:25:58get lucky out in town.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Good memories, do you know what I mean?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04In Leeds, with just days to go till Ollie's big trip to Magaluf,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07he's busy packing the bare essentials.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09There's quite a few of these!
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I was given two packs, which have eight in each,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15but I probably won't need all of that.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I think that's being a bit ambitious.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Put those in there.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Ollie is yet to hear back from the clinic
0:26:21 > 0:26:23about his recent sexual health test.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25If I did have something now, er
0:26:25 > 0:26:30then I'd probably have to take the course of antibiotics to the holiday,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32which would be a bummer, because
0:26:32 > 0:26:34they probably can't be taken with alcohol.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37It'll probably also mean that I can't do anything with girls as well
0:26:37 > 0:26:40which maybe will put a bit of a dampener on the holiday as well.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Ollie's dad wants to know
0:26:42 > 0:26:46exactly what his son plans to get up to on his trip away.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50So, are you a man on a mission
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Yeah, such as what? Fingering fat birds.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Ugh! THEY LAUGH
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I can't believe you just said that!
0:26:59 > 0:27:01You know your mum is terrified don't you?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03What, of me getting something? Yeah.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'm 99.9% certain I don't, anyway.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07If I do, and then...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Are you saying you might already have something?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11No, no, no! I'm saying...
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Like, there's always a possibility,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15it's a 50-50 chance, isn't it? I don't know.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I know you think it might be some kind of badge of honour,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19it might be quite funny, but if you come home,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22and you can't get rid of it with some antibiotics...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Some of the things you can catch can be really, really nasty.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Oh, yeah, I know. So what happens then, next Wednesday night?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29First night in Magaluf, you're absolutely out of your tree,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32and some...I don't know, some female that you've never seen before
0:27:32 > 0:27:35comes along and starts chatting you up. What are you going to do?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Er...wrap up.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Wrap up. But why has it happened in the past?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44What made you not do that? It's just sometimes is a bit of a like..
0:27:44 > 0:27:47a bit shit, and a bit awkward. You're just like, "Oh, one minute..."
0:27:47 > 0:27:49And she's just kind of... So it spoils the moment?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Yeah. Why not make it part of the experience?
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Have a bit of fun with it?
0:27:54 > 0:27:59Er, cos it's not that fun, really. Oh, it can be.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00You would know?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I used to make fun out of getting the girl to put it on.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05And that was all part of the actual process. Just think about that
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It is, it's great fun.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Don't know what to say back to that?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16It's a cracking way to add a bit of entertainment to the whole process.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Oh, Dad.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21My God.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It's all well and good coming back with a little bit of chlamydia
0:28:24 > 0:28:27or syphilis or whatever and thinking, "I can get that cured
0:28:27 > 0:28:29"I can get rid of that and don't do it again."
0:28:29 > 0:28:31But if you come back with HIV or some of that serious shit, that's it.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35You're done for life, because that stuff doesn't go away.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Part of me thinks, "Fair play.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39But the other part of me, like his mum, thinks, "It's a
0:28:39 > 0:28:42"little bit terrifying." His attitude is, "It will never happen to me."
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Just got my results.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51NHS, Ollie, all your results from your recent visit are negative.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52From the Sexual Health Team.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Dad!
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Hey! Shake my hand. Keep it like that, yeah?
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Yeah, I'll keep it like that.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07I think now that he's got the all clear, I think he's probably
0:29:07 > 0:29:08learned his lesson.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Having said that, Thursday night, Magaluf, 15 pints of cheap
0:29:11 > 0:29:13lager down his neck, who knows
0:29:13 > 0:29:14TELEPHONE RINGS
0:29:14 > 0:29:17With a clean bill of health to take to Magaluf, Ollie
0:29:17 > 0:29:19rings his mate to spread the good news.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22ANSWERPHONE: 'Please leave your message after the tone.'
0:29:22 > 0:29:26I was ringing to let you know I got my results
0:29:26 > 0:29:30and they're all negative, so we can go crazy in Magaluf
0:29:30 > 0:29:34and finger fat birds and Eiffel Tower a few, as well.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35See you later.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37HE LAUGHS
0:29:37 > 0:29:40What's Eiffel Towering? Eiffel Towering is...
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Do you know what a spit roast is?
0:29:43 > 0:29:48And then high five over the top so it looks like an Eiffel Tower.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51It's a bit crude, but that's what an Eiffel Tower is.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55His negative results may confirm he's clean for now,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59but Eiffel Towering without a condom may mean Ollie comes
0:29:59 > 0:30:02back from Magaluf with more than just a smile on his face.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13Tease the weasel. Torment the trousers' trout. Old one's marbles!
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Teach one's dog to spit? Urgh!
0:30:17 > 0:30:20What does it mean? Masturbating, apparently.
0:30:20 > 0:30:26At the clinic, the staff like to keep up to date with all the latest sexual trends.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Oh, yeah. There are sometimes new words being created all the time.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Growl at the badger. Have a moustache.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Chew the fish.
0:30:36 > 0:30:43Fist fuck - insert one's hand and forearm into someone else's anus or vagina.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Unicorning, I've heard just recently.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Oh, yeah. Unicorning, where they put the dildos on their head.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53What pleasure do they get out of it?
0:30:53 > 0:30:58I don't know, cos can you imagine what you'd be looking at while you're doing that?!
0:30:58 > 0:31:00E for Eiffel Towering.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04"When the woman is on her knees performing fellatio to a man,
0:31:04 > 0:31:08"and another man is having sex with her from behind,
0:31:08 > 0:31:12"thus the two men join hands above the woman to form
0:31:12 > 0:31:15"what looks like the Eiffel Tower"!
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Ah, I like that. It's novel, isn't it?
0:31:23 > 0:31:28Working in an STI clinic means all the staff pick up a certain level of expertise.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35I've learnt a little bit of what some of it means by asking staff.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Despite having no contact with the patients themselves,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41housekeeper Leslie has acquired a fair knowledge
0:31:41 > 0:31:43in her ten years cleaning the clinic.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45They're to go up the men's...
0:31:47 > 0:31:48..penis.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53That's got a willy on.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57That's got two different willies on.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Urine bottle. Faeces bottle.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Nothing shocks me any more. I've seen a lot of things. And I've got used to it now.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Extra safe. Normal.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13And flavoured condoms. Disgusting.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19I mean, why would you want flavours anyway? Uff!
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Worst thing I've ever blown up in my life.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Hiya. Are you all right? I'm really late for an appointment.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Joined by boyfriend Adam, Heather's back at the clinic
0:32:32 > 0:32:38to find out if she has called a dose of the highly contagious infection, herpes.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43I'm a bit nervous. So, I'm very glad that I've got Adam here today.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46He's helped a lot through this
0:32:47 > 0:32:53Seeing Heather and Adam today is consultant Dr Amy Evans.
0:32:53 > 0:32:59Hello. Is it Heather? Yeah. Sorry to keep you waiting.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Come and have a seat, please. OK? Thank you.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Right, so just bear with me.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10And we'll just check your results for you. OK?
0:33:12 > 0:33:17OK. We picked up Type I herpes virus on your swab
0:33:17 > 0:33:21because you did have some areas of sore, broken skin... Yeah.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25..when the doctor examined you Herpes Type I, or cold sore virus, OK?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Have you ever had that before?
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Em, I've had it around my mouth before but never down there, no
0:33:31 > 0:33:36OK, OK. Essentially, herpes will come and go on its own, all right?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Normally the first time that you get it is the worst. All right
0:33:40 > 0:33:44And then, after that, it doesn't tend to be as bad. All right?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I think it's important just to say, it is very common.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Many of us bring it into the relationship without knowing it's there.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53We know that the highest risk time of passing the virus on
0:33:53 > 0:33:54is when you've got spots.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57So you might want to say, "No sex at that time", OK?
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Thank you. Take care. Thanks. Bye now.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07I see lots and lots of people who get very, very seriously
0:34:07 > 0:34:09psychologically distressed with herpes.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13And a lot of the part of that distress can be, "How do I tell a partner about this?"
0:34:13 > 0:34:16So I think nothing better than to see people as a couple
0:34:16 > 0:34:19and be able to broach those issues together, so they can then make
0:34:19 > 0:34:23a decision together as a couple about how they want to go forward.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26As well as resisting any sexual contact,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Adam will soon be returning to the clinic to see if he too
0:34:30 > 0:34:34has caught herpes or any other sexually transmitted infections
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It was herpes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41But it's a common kind. Mm. So, at least it's treatable.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Yeah. So we'll be supporting each other throughout the process.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59It's nearing the end of the day
0:34:59 > 0:35:01The leaflets are in here and the condoms are in there.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Becky, bring the condoms. OK?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06But for some of the clinic staff in Exeter,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08their work is far from over.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Senior doctor Rachel has worked in sexual health
0:35:16 > 0:35:18for the last ten years.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Today, for the first time ever
0:35:19 > 0:35:23she is taking her clinic out to the Young Farmers of Devon.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25We're off to a Young Farmer's Club
0:35:25 > 0:35:30shindig, a foam party,
0:35:30 > 0:35:36and our job there tonight is to raise awareness of safe sex
0:35:36 > 0:35:39and sexually transmitted infections.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42We're also providing a lot of chlamydia screening kits,
0:35:42 > 0:35:45so it'll be good to see people taking them
0:35:45 > 0:35:48and doing some samples and getting some chlamydia testing done.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52It's actually a left turn.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55One of the biggest challenges for the Exeter clinic is to
0:35:55 > 0:35:58access patients in hard-to-reach corners of the county.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04You have isolated farms, isolated little villages, no public transport.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09It's difficult for young people to access clinics. Left, yes, YFC
0:36:12 > 0:36:13It's my farming roots.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15What's going on there?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18This is the younger members.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Beautiful, isn't it?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Doctors Rachel and Sophie, and health care assistant Becky
0:36:23 > 0:36:28are hoping to tempt as many people to get tested tonight as possible.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Shall I put something like condoms
0:36:29 > 0:36:32and chlamydia testing next to the bar? Yeah.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Stick them on the loo doors.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Why don't we put a handful in the loos from each one
0:36:37 > 0:36:43and put something like free pants with every test. Yes.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48Lovely. A bit of gaffer tape does wonders. There we are. That'll do.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51We've got some chlamydia testing kits.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Pink's for girls, blue for boys which people can either
0:36:54 > 0:36:58take with them and send back in
0:36:58 > 0:37:00straightaway in the toilets
0:37:00 > 0:37:04and we'll post it off for them
0:37:04 > 0:37:09the clinic staff are all set. All they need now are patients
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Have we got some testers coming forward? Pee in a pot. Dead easy.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19Free T-shirt. Free T-shirt, free condoms. Come and give a test.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Free chlamydia testing. Free chlamydia testing, free pants.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25You can have a chlamydia test at any time. I'll be back in a minute.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Oh, dear. We're being stared at though. That's good. Yeah, yeah
0:37:28 > 0:37:30We're attracting curiosity.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34That is always encouraging. So maybe we'll get a few takers later.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39We'll just have to see whether anybody is interested or
0:37:39 > 0:37:40whether they give us a wide berth.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Just sometimes it's how things end up happening at this sort of thing.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46After an hour at the event, it would appear
0:37:46 > 0:37:49the Young Farmers of Devon would prefer not to know
0:37:49 > 0:37:51if they have chlamydia or not.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56It is a public event and it is difficult for people
0:37:56 > 0:37:59to come forward and say they want a chlamydia test.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02If you want a chlamydia test, it suggests you've been having sex
0:38:02 > 0:38:04and there are a lot of people who don't want other people to know
0:38:04 > 0:38:08they're having sex. Yeah, I'm good, thank you.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Well, you know. Good for trying I feel encouraged.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13With the alcohol beginning to flow,
0:38:13 > 0:38:17will the Young Farmers of Devon drop their inhibitions
0:38:17 > 0:38:20as well as their pants and take a chlamydia test?
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Get off my land.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39For farmer Greg, the results of his tests can't come soon enough.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42To get an all clear, to me, would be brilliant. It means that...
0:38:42 > 0:38:46I'm going into a new relationship, then if we do ever have sex or
0:38:46 > 0:38:49anything, you don't have to worry about stuff like that.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52He's waiting to call his girlfriend with the news.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01TELEPHONE RINGS
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Bloody hell, it is the results, actually.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20All right, my darling? How's it going?
0:39:20 > 0:39:26My results have come back clean today. Clear. Yeah, completely clear.
0:39:28 > 0:39:34So, we can all relax now. OK, I'll see you a bit later on anyway.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36She was quite happy.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I'll go and see her in a couple of hours once I finish work.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Be a real man again.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45The results of your recent test is negative, all clear.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49They even put a little thank you in it. I can drill on.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Drilling on is on the minds of a lot of young people tonight.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Pair of pants?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03But Dr Rachel and the team are hoping that they'll also
0:40:03 > 0:40:05think about getting tested.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07All you have to do is pee in a pot, basically.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Bring back the pee in a pot and we'll sort the rest out for you.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Is it that envelope I put it in as well? Yes, put it in that bag.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18We've persuaded the monkey and the cow to have the chlamydia test
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Free pair of pants if you piss in a bottle.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23After a slow start,
0:40:23 > 0:40:27the locals are starting to see the benefits of chlamydia testing.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34The pants are going down well. I want the free pants. I'll do a test.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Yep, lovely. Becka will show you how to do it.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41I get a free pair of pants? I've got spares.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43I think one of the most important things in an event like this
0:40:43 > 0:40:49is to normalise talking about sex, normalise having tests done.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Make it so that people don't feel uncomfortable.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54We don't have the opportunity here easily.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57You have to drive to get it done and we're also busy working,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00and a lot of people just don't have the time or don't think about it.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09As night falls and the booze flows,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12it's not just sexual inhibitions that free up.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15The temporary outdoor clinic is swamped with young people.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Do you want any free condoms? Free condoms? Yes, please.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23No socks, no shirts. We've only got pants.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Good evening, Devon!
0:41:33 > 0:41:34Free condoms.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39So what you need to do is pee in a pot. Where do we go?
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Toilets are around there or you can just find a dark corner of the field.
0:41:43 > 0:41:49Chris. Chris? I need the first bit of pee that comes out. Very first?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Chris is a farmer from a local village.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I'll get you a goodie bag together. Yay. Does that include beer?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And with the offer of free pants, he's happy to be tested.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03If I've had unprotected sex with someone, it's always on my mind
0:42:03 > 0:42:08I'm always thinking, like, "Shit!" So, why not?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Whilst he isn't keen to wear protection, Chris is more
0:42:11 > 0:42:15than happy to show his friends just how easy it is to carry out a test.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Better to be safe than sorry, guys.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Chris' sample will be sent off for testing and he'll soon discover
0:42:26 > 0:42:29if he's filled his pot with lager or something more sinister.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Have you got any more? I think they're all gone, actually.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39With all the freebies handed out, the team pack up to leave.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Next time, I swear, you'll be in the foam, Rachel.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Raving along with the rest of them. No, no.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48I've done my bit for Queen and country.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52It's been a great success. Great success.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55We've had quite a lot of chlamydia tests done.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58We've given out a lot of information about where clinics are held
0:42:58 > 0:43:00and raised awareness of safe sex for health.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03It'll also make them think about having safe sex
0:43:03 > 0:43:04if they're going to have sex tonight,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07because I think everybody here has had something from us.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16the clinic staff's work is done for another day.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32It's first thing in the morning and in Leeds, junior doctor
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Sonya is preparing for another busy day at the clinic.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39I think Leeds is very sexually active, which is fine
0:43:39 > 0:43:41as long as everyone is safe,
0:43:41 > 0:43:43that's our, kind of...
0:43:43 > 0:43:45the most important message from the clinic.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Sonya graduated from Leeds University last year
0:43:48 > 0:43:51and is the youngest doctor in the clinic.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Sometimes young people do find it quite difficult to come to the
0:43:54 > 0:43:57clinic and find it difficult to disclose information
0:43:57 > 0:43:59and can become quite embarrassed.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01I hope they think I'm kind of their age,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04I've been at university for six years,
0:44:04 > 0:44:07you kind of know what goes on and all that kind of thing.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09So, I hope it helps.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14Hello. How are you? Fine, thanks. Good.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Sonya faces a day of swabbing, probing
0:44:16 > 0:44:20and examining patients from every walk of life.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23I've seen, you know, 16-year-old boys and girls,
0:44:23 > 0:44:28I've seen a 70-year-old gentleman. You see everybody.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32A sexually active 70-year-old. People don't stop.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Now, that's something.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39I'll go and see if he's in the waiting room. Room four
0:44:41 > 0:44:44First patient for Sonya this morning is Adam,
0:44:44 > 0:44:47back at the clinic, after his girlfriend Heather
0:44:47 > 0:44:49was diagnosed with herpes.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52I'm not too worried about catching anything.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55I don't think I'm showing any symptoms.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58We've sort of avoided touching sexually to a degree,
0:44:58 > 0:45:01but when we have, it's been with protection.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04Is it Adam? It is. Hi, I'm Sonya, one of the doctors.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Do you want to come down this way with me?
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Herpes is passed by skin-to-skin contact
0:45:09 > 0:45:10so Adam using a condom
0:45:10 > 0:45:13may not have stopped the infection from spreading.
0:45:13 > 0:45:18Adam, have you...been experiencing any particular symptoms at all
0:45:18 > 0:45:19Erm, not that I know of.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23So have you noticed any pain at all at the end of your penis,
0:45:23 > 0:45:25any testicular pain?
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Some slight itchiness at the end, but... Some itching, OK.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30How long's that been going on for? For a while.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32I haven't really thought anything of it.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35So, for quite a few months, would you say? Yeah. OK.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Was there any redness there at all? A little bit.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Is that there at the moment, or has that gone? I think it's still there.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Still there, OK. Have you noticed any discharge at all?
0:45:44 > 0:45:48Erm, a little bit at times. Especially when it's really itchy.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52When it's itchy, OK, and what colour is it? White. White discharge, OK.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55An itchy, red penis with a white discharge means Adam has all
0:45:55 > 0:45:59the symptoms of a number of sexually transmitted infections.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02Lower your trousers and your underwear to just below your knees
0:46:02 > 0:46:05and then just lie flat on your back.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08Is that all right? Yep. Feeling all right there? Yep. Can I come round?
0:46:08 > 0:46:11I'll start with a general examination, OK?
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Do you regularly check the testicular area? Yeah.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Have you noticed any changes recently? Not recently, no.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20OK, so there is a bit of discharge there, isn't there?
0:46:20 > 0:46:23It looks quite dry as well. Would you agree? Yeah.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26At the top, it looks quite dry
0:46:26 > 0:46:28It looks like there may have been a bit of bleeding.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Has there been any bleeding at all?
0:46:30 > 0:46:32A little bit, yeah, it's cracked open slightly.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Just because of the dryness? Yeah.
0:46:34 > 0:46:35OK, we'll take a swab.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40OK, this bit is a little bit painful.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43Are you all right there? Yep. OK.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45If you want to get dressed, Adam,
0:46:45 > 0:46:48I'll give you a minute just to sort yourself out.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51HEATHER: Watch you don't catch it in the zip again!
0:46:51 > 0:46:52Mmm!
0:46:55 > 0:47:00He's got a slide to read, if that's all right?
0:47:00 > 0:47:02It's difficult to say what the discharge was due to,
0:47:02 > 0:47:05it could be due to an STI but there's definitely,
0:47:05 > 0:47:08definitely some very dry skin down below. Mmm.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Sometimes we can see something on the slide,
0:47:10 > 0:47:12so say we can see some maybe just some pus cells
0:47:12 > 0:47:16or potentially some gonorrhoea cells, if there is anything.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19What can you see? Tons and tons and tons of... Of pus cells?
0:47:19 > 0:47:21..and tons of pus.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24Any... Pus made me think gonorrhoea in that one.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26Pete, would you just read that slide, mate?
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Let the big man read it!
0:47:28 > 0:47:35On first appearances, Adam may like Heather, have caught herpes.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38He also may have gonorrhoea or chlamydia.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Could be a sexually transmitted infection.
0:47:41 > 0:47:47And if it is, we'll deal with it as a couple together.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49The couple will soon be back at the clinic
0:47:49 > 0:47:53to discover if Adam's test results confirm he's caught an STI.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Across the country in Devon, Alex is waiting to hear back
0:48:06 > 0:48:09from the clinic after her recent sexual health check.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Waiting for my results today, it's a little bit stressful.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15I've been waiting every day, checking my phone,
0:48:15 > 0:48:17waiting to see if they've come through.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21The 18-year-old has slept with 23 people to date...
0:48:21 > 0:48:22Play dead.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24..many without protection.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27Her housemates worry about some of the choices she makes.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30I think I DO have a type, you think... Definitely, you don't have a type.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32I DO have a type!
0:48:32 > 0:48:34What's your type then? Male!
0:48:34 > 0:48:37There's no romance any more, there's no nice people,
0:48:37 > 0:48:40it's just like, "Hey, do you want to have sex with me?"
0:48:40 > 0:48:43He's out there somewhere. Out there somewhere!
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Oh, we love her to pieces but we just want her to be more safe.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49You don't know, it could be the nicest person in the world
0:48:49 > 0:48:52and they might be carrying something pretty deadly, you know?
0:48:52 > 0:48:55It's stressing me out.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57What if it comes back positive
0:48:57 > 0:48:59Aw, look, he knows you're worried.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Aww! He'll give you support.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03Aw. He'll start humping your leg!
0:49:03 > 0:49:06Oh! Eurgh! That's what you're doing!
0:49:06 > 0:49:08TEXT MESSAGE ALERT TONE Ooh!
0:49:10 > 0:49:12I'm scared. It's all right. Let's get it over with.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14SHE WHISPERS: I don't want to look. Yeah, you do.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18"Your results of your recent swab at the clinic are negative "
0:49:18 > 0:49:19WHISTLING
0:49:19 > 0:49:22"All clear on the 27th. Thank you."
0:49:22 > 0:49:28Yes! Oh, yes! You're lucky. Yeah! Yay! Nice one, babe.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30'Obviously condoms are a bit of a hindrance.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33'There's a slight difference but it's not the end of the world.'
0:49:33 > 0:49:36It's always better to use them definitely.
0:49:36 > 0:49:41Just be more careful now. Yeah. Please! Stay safe.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43This will shake her up a bit and maybe she will change her ways.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44I hope so, anyway.
0:49:53 > 0:49:5712 miles away, the hangover from the foam party has gone
0:49:57 > 0:50:00and young farmer Chris is back on his tractor.
0:50:00 > 0:50:06Mate, it was good, yeah, pretty wild. Work the next day was a killer
0:50:06 > 0:50:11Clinic staff tested him for chlamydia and his results are back.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13Yeah, I got a text from the clinic.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16"Your results are all clear, call 01392...blah-blah-blah,
0:50:16 > 0:50:18"if more information needed."
0:50:18 > 0:50:19Happy days!
0:50:21 > 0:50:23I mean, I wasn't really too worried
0:50:23 > 0:50:26but I think regular testing's good because if you do,
0:50:26 > 0:50:29you find about something quick and you can get rid of it
0:50:29 > 0:50:32before, like...before you get a massive reputation
0:50:32 > 0:50:35for being a...massive slut!
0:50:43 > 0:50:45I've got an appointment at 20 past.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49In Leeds, Heather's boyfriend Adam is back at the clinic
0:50:49 > 0:50:52after doctors discovered a number of suspicious-looking symptoms
0:50:52 > 0:50:54in and around his penis.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57I was very red and very sore.
0:50:57 > 0:51:01I was also very... The skin was very tight
0:51:01 > 0:51:04and there was also some white discharge as well.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07So I've come back for the results today.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10Adam will be seen today by consultant Jan Clarke.
0:51:10 > 0:51:15I'm looking for Adam? Yep. OK, come on through.
0:51:15 > 0:51:23The tests that we did show that there was some thrush there
0:51:23 > 0:51:27We did some swabs to check for other infections like herpes. Yeah.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30But that was negative on the day and the blood test as well,
0:51:30 > 0:51:34you had that done, didn't you? Yes. And that was clear too. That's good.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37So if you just drop your trousers down.
0:51:37 > 0:51:41It turns out Adam is STI-free but has a nasty case of thrush
0:51:41 > 0:51:45Dr Jan is keen to get to the bottom of it.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48So are you finding it hard to pull the foreskin back,
0:51:48 > 0:51:52is that the trouble? Yes. Oh, yeah.
0:51:52 > 0:51:53It's still quite thick, isn't it? Yes.
0:51:53 > 0:51:58The issue with this is that it's scarred down a bit, yeah.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02And it would probably be a good idea to look at treating that... Right.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05..to stop it happening again. Do you want to get yourself dressed?
0:52:05 > 0:52:08And we'll talk about that in a bit more detail.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11There's no more broken skin,
0:52:11 > 0:52:16but it's all healed down so that the foreskin's got tighter.
0:52:16 > 0:52:20It gets sore through the thrush then it gets split and then
0:52:20 > 0:52:24it heals again and it gets tighter and tighter and tighter.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28That becomes a practical problem because when you have an erection,
0:52:28 > 0:52:30it's going to get really tight and painful.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33So one option to think about fairly soon is
0:52:33 > 0:52:36whether you want to go forward to have a circumcision
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Right. To clear it once and for all.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41What do you think about that as an option?
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Yes, it's definitely an option yeah.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45I think it may be worthwhile to consider having that
0:52:45 > 0:52:48circumcision done soon.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52If a man is having recurrent problems with fissures and scarring
0:52:52 > 0:52:55on his foreskin, it becomes so uncomfortable
0:52:55 > 0:52:56it's better to get circumcised
0:52:56 > 0:53:00There are actually some ideas that being circumcised,
0:53:00 > 0:53:03you're less likely to pick up sexual infections
0:53:03 > 0:53:07so in terms of populations, men who are circumcised are less likely
0:53:07 > 0:53:10to pick up HIV and other infections.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14If we do this, it gets it sorted but, like you say,
0:53:14 > 0:53:18looks scary at the same time as well. I'll put up a bandage over it!
0:53:18 > 0:53:20HEATHER CHUCKLES
0:53:21 > 0:53:26Pretty nervous, but...I think it needs doing.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30With Adam prepared to have his foreskin removed,
0:53:30 > 0:53:32they can put their problems behind them
0:53:32 > 0:53:35and carry on enjoying their new relationship.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42After his two-week trip to Magaluf,
0:53:42 > 0:53:4518-year-old Ollie has returned to the clinic.
0:53:47 > 0:53:51The holiday was good, got up to...all sorts of stuff
0:53:51 > 0:53:52I got my balls kissed by a girl
0:53:52 > 0:53:55so that was pretty good, on the booze cruise.
0:53:55 > 0:54:00Ollie? Yes, Tim. You all right Here you are, mate? Come on.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02Now that you've not got much of a tan,
0:54:02 > 0:54:05which makes me think that you've been asleep all day and awake all night!
0:54:05 > 0:54:07OLLIE LAUGHS That is true, actually..
0:54:07 > 0:54:10He's back for more freebies.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13These are a new brand we're using now
0:54:13 > 0:54:17so you're going to be my first one. We've not handed out any of these to anyone.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20Thank you. So I've been having a look of them, I quite like the feel of them.
0:54:20 > 0:54:24Just over my two fingers! So, as a lads' holiday, how did it go?
0:54:24 > 0:54:28As a lads' holiday, it went very well. Awesome. Lots of laughs?
0:54:28 > 0:54:33Yes, and lots of... Beer? ..beer. Sex? Yes, quite a bit of that.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36Did Little Ollie have a nice time? Little Ollie had a lovely time
0:54:36 > 0:54:40Now then, did we take care of Little Ollie? Yes, I did, actually!
0:54:40 > 0:54:43Was it difficult? Did you get many girls asking you to wear a condom?
0:54:43 > 0:54:46Not particularly, but you booted me up the arse, didn't you?
0:54:46 > 0:54:49So you've made me realise that I should really be wearing them
0:54:49 > 0:54:54which is fair enough, to be honest. I knew going to the unknown and Magaluf,
0:54:54 > 0:54:56that there's probably a bit going round.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58I'm glad you remembered my Little Ollie talk!
0:54:58 > 0:55:01I'll never forget that one! Get yourself booked back in, if you want.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04I will. If not, remember there's the postal kits you can use.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08Cool. And be happy, and stay lucky and stay healthy
0:55:08 > 0:55:12And if we're doing the hubba-hubba, make sure it's the hubba-hubba with a rubber!
0:55:12 > 0:55:14OLLIE LAUGHS
0:55:14 > 0:55:15Right, bud, see you later. Thank you.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18Take care. All right, mate, see you later.
0:55:18 > 0:55:25With Ollie now wearing condoms Tim has achieved a success story.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28You know, you just don't know, do you?
0:55:28 > 0:55:31And it's lovely to see that it looks like it might have worked
0:55:31 > 0:55:34One day, he'll settle down and have kids like the rest of us,
0:55:34 > 0:55:37but all he needs to worry about at the moment is Little Ollie.
0:55:37 > 0:55:42Nurse Tim may have convinced Ollie of the benefits of safe sex,
0:55:42 > 0:55:46but the clinics' never-ending battle against STIs continues.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51Next time, on Unsafe Sex In The City...
0:55:52 > 0:55:55..farmers Dan and Ollie compare STI notes...
0:55:55 > 0:55:58I'm not worried, you're the one that needs to be worried!
0:55:58 > 0:56:01You're saying it's like a pickled gherkin! For Christ's sake!
0:56:01 > 0:56:04..and Marie and Nathan are relying on the right results
0:56:04 > 0:56:06before their wedding day.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09I kind of cheated on Nathan then and he's got me back
0:56:09 > 0:56:12quite a lot of times like that I'd love to be clear
0:56:12 > 0:56:14for the wedding, I'd love to be able to stand there
0:56:14 > 0:56:17and when we make the statement "In sickness and in health,"
0:56:17 > 0:56:19we're actually in health when we make it!
0:56:19 > 0:56:23And will Sasha start to take her sexual health seriously?
0:56:23 > 0:56:25Do you guys do Botox?
0:56:25 > 0:56:28I couldn't die a boy with HIV, that'd be horrible.
