More young people than ever

0:00:070:00:08

are catching sexually-transmitted infections.

0:00:080:00:11

And Britain's STI clinics are the first stop for anyone

0:00:110:00:15

who thinks a night of passion might mean they've got something nasty.

0:00:150:00:19

You've got a bit of a discharge

0:00:190:00:21

It was quite offensive in odour

0:00:210:00:23

Are you nervous? Yeah.

0:00:230:00:25

I should know better, really.

0:00:250:00:27

This series goes behind the doors of two clinics...

0:00:270:00:30

Bit cold, as you know, OK?

0:00:300:00:32

..in two very different cities

0:00:330:00:36

We're a bit mental but we're not judgmental.

0:00:360:00:39

Watch it!

0:00:390:00:47

God gave you a minge. Use it!

0:00:470:00:51

Why are we not looking after little Olly? What's he'd done to upset you?

0:00:510:00:54

..and Exeter in the heart of the Devon countryside.

0:00:540:00:57

This is Exeter, mate. Everyone sleeps with everyone.

0:00:570:01:00

Condoms for sex? No.

0:01:000:01:02

Getting a sexually transmitted infection from a farm animal.

0:01:020:01:05

We help bring patients to get checked out...

0:01:070:01:10

I've trusted people that I shouldn't have.

0:01:100:01:12

Oh, my God!

0:01:120:01:13

I'm just hoping and praying that I haven't got anything.

0:01:130:01:16

..before following them home.

0:01:160:01:18

12 months?

0:01:180:01:19

20 partners? That's well shocked me.

0:01:190:01:22

To find out how getting tested. .

0:01:220:01:24

The results from your recent visit are...

0:01:240:01:27

..affects their health...

0:01:270:01:29

You were positive to chlamydia

0:01:290:01:31

..their relationships...

0:01:320:01:34

Why would you need to carry on coming and taking the tests

0:01:340:01:36

if you're not sleeping with anyone but me?

0:01:360:01:39

..and their sex lives.

0:01:390:01:41

She wanted it so bad!

0:01:410:01:43

This week in Leeds...

0:01:480:01:49

Anne-Marie and Nathan are getting tested just one week

0:01:490:01:52

before their wedding day.

0:01:520:01:54

I'd love to be able to stand there when we make the statement

0:01:540:01:56

in sickness and health,

0:01:560:01:57

we're actually in health when we make it.

0:01:570:01:59

While Sasha's clinic trip could have huge consequences for her future.

0:02:000:02:05

The worst thing that could happen could be something that's

0:02:050:02:08

incurable, like HIV.

0:02:080:02:09

And in Exeter, rappers Ziggy and Slim haven't been wrapping up.

0:02:110:02:15

I just love sex without condoms

0:02:150:02:17

More pleasure, maybe.

0:02:170:02:18

But it's less safe.

0:02:200:02:21

Good morning, Leeds Centre for Sexual Health.

0:02:330:02:35

In Leeds, it's another busy day in the fight against STIs.

0:02:350:02:40

I believe we've got a cancellation this afternoon

0:02:400:02:42

if you can make it this afternoon.

0:02:420:02:45

When they can't get an appointment they just put the phone down on us.

0:02:450:02:48

It's quite rude.

0:02:480:02:49

Good morning, Leeds Centre for Sexual Health.

0:02:490:02:51

Sister Karina has brought in a box of treats

0:02:580:03:00

for her fellow staff members,

0:03:000:03:05

Do you remember me telling you for my 40th I had some... Willy cakes.

0:03:070:03:10

One of the most disgusting cakes I've seen in my life, that one.

0:03:100:03:13

I don't know if I'd put my mouth round that

0:03:130:03:16

So you can have either a cock or a vagina.

0:03:160:03:19

Hi. There's some special cupcakes if you want any.

0:03:250:03:28

Which one do you want? Do you want a big black one?

0:03:310:03:34

He's got warts as well, him. See the warts?

0:03:340:03:36

That one's very unusual.

0:03:400:03:42

They've all got gonorrhoea today. Gonorrhoea, warts and thrush.

0:03:420:03:45

I'm going to eat thrush, I think.

0:03:450:03:47

Hi, I've come to collect my results. That's fine.

0:03:490:03:51

Can I take your date of birth?

0:03:510:03:53

What do you think I'm most at risk at?

0:03:530:03:55

Chlamydia.

0:03:560:03:58

You think so? Everyone gets that.

0:03:580:03:59

I thought that were like a straight people disease.

0:03:590:04:03

You are sleeping with bisexual people. That's true.

0:04:030:04:06

Do you want one with gonorrhoea

0:04:060:04:08

She's got gonorrhoea.

0:04:080:04:10

I'm going to take one for Sister Whitaker

0:04:100:04:12

and take a picture and send her it.

0:04:120:04:13

Does she want a willy? Yeah, she'll want a big one.

0:04:130:04:16

She'll want a big one.

0:04:160:04:17

It's a little harder than yours Kerry.

0:04:170:04:20

Gorgeous.

0:04:200:04:21

Tim's had his fill of gonorrhoea, warts and thrush.

0:04:220:04:25

Now it's time to see if his patients have.

0:04:250:04:28

Fabian? That's me.

0:04:280:04:31

Fabian's come in with best friend Sasha to collect his results.

0:04:310:04:34

He's a homosexual.

0:04:370:04:39

I'm a heterosexual.

0:04:390:04:40

That's how you classify yourself?

0:04:420:04:44

No, I'm joking.

0:04:440:04:46

Basically, Fabian's gay and I'm transgender.

0:04:460:04:49

Thank you, my name's Tim, pleased to meet you.

0:04:490:04:51

How are you doing, all right?

0:04:510:04:53

I was expecting you to phone me this afternoon,

0:04:530:04:55

but you've come in personally.

0:04:550:04:56

I like the personal touch, don't you? Yeah.

0:04:560:04:59

A problem down below brought the 18-year-old to the clinic

0:04:590:05:02

two weeks ago.

0:05:020:05:03

I had, like, spots on my... I don't know! A spot.

0:05:030:05:08

He found a couple of ingrowing hairs,

0:05:080:05:11

but he didn't know if they were ingrowing hairs or genital warts.

0:05:110:05:14

So, we did a urine sample for chlamydia and gonorrhoea,

0:05:160:05:19

and that's come back negative.

0:05:190:05:20

We did a swab from your throat for gonorrhoea,

0:05:200:05:25

..for gonorrhoea as well, that's come back negative.

0:05:250:05:28

And your blood sample for HIV and syphilis came back negative

0:05:280:05:31

so fantastic! Congratulations. Disease-free. You are.

0:05:310:05:35

For one more time. HE LAUGHS

0:05:350:05:36

Was that all right for you? Yeah

0:05:360:05:38

That's great news, isn't it? It is. Peace of mind.

0:05:380:05:40

You can enjoy your weekend, now Sleep a bit better tonight.

0:05:400:05:43

Yeah! OK? Can he have some condoms? Course you can. Thank you.

0:05:430:05:45

Help yourself. Do you have the multicoloured ones?

0:05:450:05:48

Oh, I can get some of them for you, Sasha. No problem. Thank you!

0:05:480:05:50

All right. I like the pink ones I'll get some multicoloured ones.

0:05:500:05:53

Thank you.

0:05:530:05:54

Well done!

0:05:580:05:59

It is always good to give good news.

0:05:590:06:01

Because I always congratulate people when I give good news.

0:06:010:06:04

And I do - people do laugh at me for congratulating people,

0:06:040:06:07

but I do feel it's worth congratulating over.

0:06:070:06:10

We've got orange...

0:06:100:06:12

er, blueberry muffin, hot chocolate...

0:06:120:06:14

..my favourite, ice cream.

0:06:150:06:17

They're primarily for oral sex flavoured ones,

0:06:170:06:21

and maybe a bit of a novelty.

0:06:210:06:23

But, um, we don't get many because most people don't

0:06:230:06:27

really like to give oral sex with a condom.

0:06:270:06:29

As one guy once said to me, you might as well be sucking on a rubber glove.

0:06:290:06:32

Are you happy? Yeah.

0:06:320:06:34

Now I'm worried. I'm not going to lie!

0:06:340:06:37

Thank you, beautiful. All right

0:06:370:06:39

OK, you're free to go. OK, thank you! Enjoy your weekend.

0:06:390:06:42

Thanks a lot. See you soon. Nice to see you.

0:06:420:06:44

Are you happy? Definitely.

0:06:470:06:50

Fabian's all clear has inspired Sasha to bite the bullet

0:06:500:06:53

and book in herself.

0:06:530:06:56

Are you actually going to turn up to this one, though?

0:06:560:06:58

Three times lucky.

0:06:580:06:59

Hiya! Hi there. Can I make an appointment, please?

0:06:590:07:01

Yes, that's fine. Have you been here before?

0:07:010:07:04

'I've just broken up with my ex-partner,

0:07:040:07:06

'and I found out he was cheating on me, and I've been told that

0:07:060:07:08

I need to make sure I get myself checked out, so..

0:07:080:07:11

That's like the best precaution

0:07:110:07:13

but I've been avoiding it and pushing it off.

0:07:130:07:15

That's 2:30 on Tuesday. That's great. All right.

0:07:150:07:17

All right, then. Thank you. Thank you. Bye.

0:07:170:07:20

Sasha's already missed two appointments.

0:07:200:07:22

Will she make it back to the clinic to face her STI fears?

0:07:220:07:25

Hello!

0:07:380:07:39

Sasha isn't the only one who's been putting off getting tested.

0:07:390:07:51

like, I still think that's quite irresponsible of me.

0:07:510:07:54

It does worry me that I haven't been checked in a long time.

0:07:540:07:57

Alice? Yep. Hello.

0:07:570:07:59

21-year-old student Alice has come to see health adviser Jane

0:07:590:08:03

Come in. Come and take a seat. Yeah.

0:08:030:08:06

She's worried past behaviour may have put her

0:08:060:08:08

and her boyfriend at risk.

0:08:080:08:10

Have you ever had

0:08:100:08:12

a sexually transmitted infection

0:08:120:08:14

diagnosed before? Not that I know of.

0:08:140:08:16

When was the last time you actually had any sexual contact?

0:08:160:08:18

About two days ago. Two days ago.

0:08:180:08:20

We just ask about sexual contact so, vaginal sex with your partner? Yeah.

0:08:200:08:24

Any anal sex with your partner? No?

0:08:240:08:26

And any oral sex with your partner? Yeah.

0:08:260:08:28

And giving... You giving, him giving, bit of both?

0:08:280:08:31

Yeah. Good.

0:08:310:08:33

Good!

0:08:330:08:34

LAUGHS: I like equity in a relationship.

0:08:340:08:37

Have you ever worked in the sex industry? No!

0:08:370:08:41

So if anyone had paid you for sex... No. ..or if you paid anyone for sex.

0:08:410:08:44

And if anyone had told you they were HIV positive.

0:08:440:08:47

No, they haven't.

0:08:470:08:48

Did you test for chlamydia before at all, ever? Once ever. Once before.

0:08:480:08:51

Like, two-and-a-bit years ago. Yeah.

0:08:510:08:53

And do you think you partner has ever? I don't think he has, no

0:08:530:08:57

No, so it's obviously... Yeah.

0:08:570:08:59

..the weak point in the relationship. Yeah.

0:08:590:09:01

So, if it's all right with you I'll get you on the couch

0:09:010:09:04

and do a blood test for you.

0:09:040:09:06

Just going to clean you off, there. Oh...

0:09:070:09:10

I didn't think this would be happening to me today!

0:09:100:09:13

Done, though.

0:09:130:09:15

You should just do it, you shouldn't give people the option.

0:09:150:09:18

Right, I will get you to do the swab,

0:09:180:09:19

and I'll get you to do a urine sample as well.

0:09:190:09:22

So, you come with me...

0:09:220:09:24

Alice's samples will be tested for gonorrhoea, chlamydia,

0:09:240:09:27

HIV and syphilis.

0:09:270:09:29

If I do have something, it would be a big deal where and why,

0:09:290:09:34

like, where from and why, kind of thing. Do you know what I mean?

0:09:340:09:37

You definitely want to get it right,

0:09:430:09:45

cos you don't want them going home telling 'em they've got whatever.

0:09:450:09:48

Sometimes we do have people's relationships, like, in our hands.

0:09:480:09:51

I mean, it could break up marriages,

0:09:510:09:54

it could break up people that have been together a long time.

0:09:540:09:56

You've got to be very careful what you say,

0:09:560:09:58

cos you don't want to start planting ideas in people's heads!

0:09:580:10:07

Not all infections can be seen under the clinic microscopes

0:10:070:10:11

and Alice now faces a nail-biting two-week wait for her results.

0:10:110:10:15

In Exeter...

0:10:260:10:27

..the weekly delivery of condoms has just arrived.

0:10:290:10:32

Hello! Big box for you.

0:10:350:10:38

We do have trim for the more slender size, we have extra strong,

0:10:400:10:47

we also have large for the more well-endowed gentleman.

0:10:470:10:50

Sometimes we'll have the odd joker come in and say they want

0:10:500:10:53

the EXTRA large, but we don't have those, unfortunately.

0:10:530:10:58

They would have to buy them themselves. Or maybe tell the truth.

0:10:580:11:02

Free or not, condoms don't appeal to the clinic's next patient, Baba

0:11:090:11:13

aka Slim.

0:11:130:11:15

Gambian born Slim has come to the clinic today

0:11:170:11:19

with his Italian mate Ziggy.

0:11:190:11:22

My name is Awadi, but my friends call me Ziggy.

0:11:220:11:25

It's been seven years since Slim's last test,

0:11:270:11:30

but for Ziggy it's been even longer.

0:11:300:11:32

I'm so scared. Why are you scared?

0:11:330:11:36

Hmm? I don't know.

0:11:360:11:38

I haven't checked it since 1993

0:11:380:11:41

It hasn't been checked. 1993? 19 3.

0:11:410:11:45

That's when you were born, right?

0:11:450:11:47

So, you've never checked?

0:11:470:11:49

And you didn't check the first time you had it?

0:11:490:11:52

No, the first time I used condoms.

0:11:520:11:55

All right. Good boy.

0:11:550:11:57

You know, then that's not the first time.

0:11:570:11:59

How can there be a first time when you used condoms? Huh?

0:11:590:12:02

For me, I don't call that losing virginity when you use a condom

0:12:020:12:05

I know that's fucked up, but you've got to feel everything.

0:12:050:12:08

I often just have a look at the urine sample to see

0:12:120:12:15

if there's anything floating around.

0:12:150:12:17

Nurse advisor Abbey deals with the results of condom-free sex

0:12:170:12:22

There's no pus though, is there

0:12:220:12:24

It's just debris cos it was an overnight hold,

0:12:240:12:26

so it's probably just a bit of. .

0:12:260:12:29

Oh.

0:12:290:12:30

Oh, oh, oh, oh... That's a sperm there.

0:12:300:12:35

So I'm not going to treat him today.

0:12:370:12:39

There's no... Not lots of pus.

0:12:390:12:42

Baba? Yes. Do you want to come through?

0:12:470:12:49

How can I help you?

0:12:520:12:53

I was going to be here today for an appointment to do a test

0:12:530:12:55

to see if...

0:12:550:12:57

I'm clean or not.

0:12:570:12:59

Have you got any symptoms that are worrying you? No.

0:13:000:13:03

When was the last time you had sex?

0:13:030:13:05

Last month. OK. Female partner

0:13:050:13:08

Of course.

0:13:080:13:10

Can't make assumptions.

0:13:100:13:12

Do you use condoms for sex with her?

0:13:120:13:15

No.

0:13:150:13:16

Er, oral sex? No.

0:13:170:13:19

Anal sex?

0:13:190:13:21

Is that not the same as oral? No.

0:13:220:13:24

Oral sex, blow jobs... Oh, oh..

0:13:240:13:27

Anal sex, is sex up...

0:13:270:13:29

Yeah, can you take it back. Oral sex, yeah... OK.

0:13:290:13:31

Anal sex, no. Fine.

0:13:310:13:33

Where was she born? Thailand.

0:13:330:13:36

Thailand? Yeah. OK.

0:13:360:13:37

Obviously condoms are the way forward for protecting yourself

0:13:410:13:44

against infection.

0:13:440:13:46

Is there any reason you choose not to use them?

0:13:460:13:48

Er, is there any reason? Mm-hm

0:13:480:13:50

I hate them. You hate them.

0:13:500:13:52

It's not fun. OK.

0:13:520:13:54

For casual partners, at least until you know one way or the other

0:13:540:14:00

if there are any infections, you should use condoms, OK?

0:14:000:14:04

You're happy with how to put them on? Oh...

0:14:040:14:07

If I'm not, are you going to show me? If you want me to.

0:14:070:14:10

But I'm not... It's on a model

0:14:100:14:13

I know, it's all right.

0:14:130:14:15

It's all right. I know how.

0:14:150:14:17

Thank you. OK? Thanks a lot.

0:14:170:14:19

You're welcome. It was nice to meet you.

0:14:190:14:21

Yeah, you too.

0:14:210:14:23

How's it going?

0:14:260:14:29

I wasn't taught how to put a condom on when I was at school.

0:14:290:14:32

ABBEY: 'I think I find with a lot of young guys when you ask them

0:14:320:14:35

'about condom use, they kind of

0:14:350:14:49

And you think,

0:14:490:14:51

"Well, that's something that you should negotiate is condom use.

0:14:510:14:55

'People are not using them based solely on education,

0:14:550:14:57

'it's more fun not to.

0:14:570:14:58

'Erm, they're young and that's the risk,'

0:14:580:15:01

and the risk is part of the sexual pleasure.

0:15:010:15:03

Chlamydia.

0:15:050:15:07

Mixing risk and sexual pleasure has brought Ziggy to the clinic

0:15:070:15:11

for his first ever sexual health check.

0:15:110:15:13

Oh, shit!

0:15:130:15:16

I'm worried about this, mate. Chlamydia.

0:15:160:15:20

Did Slim say that I might have that? I don't know.

0:15:200:15:23

Hi, come on down. All right.

0:15:270:15:31

And he'll be seen today by Dr Jane.

0:15:310:15:33

So when did you last have sex? Three months ago, maybe. Three months ago.

0:15:340:15:39

And was that with a regular partner at the time? No, it wasn t.

0:15:390:15:42

It was a one-off, was it? Was it just vaginal and oral sex you had,

0:15:420:15:46

or was there any anal sex?

0:15:460:15:47

No, she gave me a blow job too OK. No anal sex? No. No.

0:15:470:15:51

When was the last time you had sex with anybody that wasn't this girl?

0:15:510:15:54

Before, I sleep with my girlfriend. It was my girlfriend.

0:15:540:15:57

So, it was your ex long-term partner? Yeah, my girlfriend.

0:15:570:15:59

And did you use condoms with her? Em... Yeah, sometimes.

0:15:590:16:04

Sometimes. Was she on another method of contraception

0:16:040:16:07

Mmm...

0:16:070:16:09

She was saying something about eating parsley.

0:16:090:16:12

Eating parsley?! Yeah. I've not heard of that one.

0:16:120:16:15

Yeah, you have to come to Italy OK!

0:16:150:16:17

We put parsley everywhere!

0:16:170:16:19

Right, I'll have to look that one up.

0:16:190:16:21

Have you ever paid for sex or been paid for sex?

0:16:210:16:24

Eh... I think, yeah, my friends paid for me.

0:16:240:16:28

Your friends paid for you? They buy me a girl.

0:16:280:16:31

They did? Yeah. OK. When was that? It was last summer.

0:16:310:16:35

I think we should take a blood test for you for HIV, syphilis and,

0:16:350:16:40

because of the time that you had a girl bought for you for sex,

0:16:400:16:45

I think that we should add in a hepatitis check as well.

0:16:450:16:48

OK? There we are. Pop your finger on there and press hard.

0:16:480:16:51

We'll contact you in about ten days. Ten days? Really, Jane? Mm-hm.

0:16:520:17:01

I'm working 15 hours a day for 0 days, it's going to be killing me.

0:17:010:17:05

OK? All right. Thank you, Jane, yeah?

0:17:050:17:08

Imagine if I have something. When you're with someone,

0:17:080:17:11

they say, look at that guy,

0:17:110:17:13

"He got chlamydia, he's got HIV whatever."

0:17:130:17:17

Maybe that guy is me.

0:17:170:17:19

Whatever Ziggy fears, he'll be a lot better off

0:17:220:17:25

using condoms than relying on his herbs.

0:17:250:17:28

You do hear some bizarre things about contraception.

0:17:280:17:32

But I hadn't heard parsley before. I was a bit slow off the mark.

0:17:320:17:36

I didn't ask him what they do with the parsley.

0:17:360:17:38

Is it vaginal parsley? Exactly

0:17:380:17:39

That's novel to me, I must say Yeah, that is novel.

0:17:390:17:43

I thought you just had it for bad breath!

0:17:430:17:45

People use tampons as a method of contraception.

0:17:450:17:48

I've heard that one before.

0:17:480:17:50

Oh, it's, "You can't possibly get pregnant if you've got a tampon in."

0:17:500:17:54

And, yeah. You can't get pregnant if you're standing up.

0:17:540:17:57

You can't get pregnant if you have sex standing up. Em...

0:17:570:18:01

Yeah. Douching. And actually that's worse.

0:18:010:18:04

It is, cos you shove it up. Yeah, you're pushing the sperm right up.

0:18:040:18:07

giving them a good head start! LAUGHTER

0:18:070:18:09

Back in Leeds, Sasha is putting the STI fears to one side

0:18:150:18:19

as she works as a beauty therapist.

0:18:190:18:21

How long have you been putting make-up on for yourself?

0:18:240:18:28

Since about 12 or 13.

0:18:280:18:30

It were inspired by Katie Price I remember.

0:18:300:18:34

I used to walk around in the big, white fur hats. Yeah.

0:18:340:18:38

I think what it is with me like I know I want to be a girl.

0:18:380:18:42

How far are you going to go to be a girl? All the way.

0:18:420:18:44

I knew when I was 12. Yeah.

0:18:440:18:47

I didn't tell home until I was 3 cos I just wanted to like

0:18:470:18:50

make sure that I weren't gay or anything.

0:18:500:18:54

I just - I didn't just want to think it was a phase. Yeah.

0:18:540:18:57

As Sasha identifies as a heterosexual woman,

0:18:570:19:00

she sleeps with heterosexual men.

0:19:000:19:02

I don't really practise safe sex.

0:19:020:19:05

I think because I go for straight people,

0:19:050:19:07

I'm more complacent about them not having anything.

0:19:070:19:10

I don't hate condoms, I just don't find the use.

0:19:100:19:13

When it comes to the point, it's never planned.

0:19:130:19:16

There's never a condom in your bag, or...

0:19:160:19:20

It's just not planned.

0:19:200:19:23

But will Sasha's complacency with condoms come back to haunt her?

0:19:230:19:27

How many sugars, 500?! Six.

0:19:350:19:38

Six? Yeah. Look, half of the cup is sugar! Yeah.

0:19:380:19:43

In Exeter, best mates Ziggy and Slim are waiting for their results.

0:19:430:19:48

I hope that now, at 19 years and 8 months, I didn't get shit.

0:19:500:19:54

I hope that, mate. No, don't worry. You ain't got shit.

0:19:540:19:57

I ain't got shit either. What are you talking about?

0:19:570:20:00

The pair share a flat but not the same views on safe sex.

0:20:000:20:04

Fuck first, then get to know later.

0:20:040:20:07

Fuck first and then get to know later? Yeah.

0:20:070:20:10

For me, every girl is right. Ain't nobody wrong. Everybody is right.

0:20:100:20:14

You fuck everything that moves

0:20:140:20:16

It's not that I fuck everything that moves. I got class too, but...

0:20:160:20:18

Nah. They all... It depends on the girl.

0:20:180:20:21

She might be pretty. She might be good inside.

0:20:210:20:24

She might be... How can you say she's good inside

0:20:240:20:27

if you don't hang out with her before?

0:20:270:20:29

There's no pleasure in condoms I just love sex without condoms

0:20:290:20:33

More pleasure, maybe. More. But it's less safe.

0:20:330:20:38

Less safe. It's better shoot.

0:20:380:20:40

Yo, the moment you get that girl's clothes off,

0:20:400:20:43

forget about safe. Well, shit, you already did it.

0:20:430:20:47

Oh, shit! Oh, yeah! Bye-bye. I'll catch you later.

0:20:470:20:50

I'll see you later. You want a hug? You want some love, Mr Lover Lover?

0:20:500:20:55

But has no condoms and more pleasure

0:20:550:20:57

given either of them a sexual health wake-up call?

0:20:570:21:00

Not all patients can make it to the Exeter city clinic.

0:21:080:21:11

So senior nurse adviser Laurance is preparing to hold a pop-up clinic

0:21:130:21:17

in a rural community.

0:21:170:21:19

I'll have some condoms because we always need those.

0:21:200:21:23

So because our catchment area is a wide geographical area,

0:21:230:21:26

not everybody can get to Exeter easily.

0:21:260:21:29

So it's good for us to take the clinic on the road to various places,

0:21:290:21:32

for us to go to people rather than them coming to us.

0:21:320:21:35

The youngsters can't necessarily ask...easily ask a parent

0:21:380:21:40

for a lift to the clinic or something.

0:21:400:21:43

Deep in the Devon countryside, this weekly outreach allows staff

0:21:440:21:48

to do STI checks at a small hospital.

0:21:480:21:51

You don't necessarily know

0:21:530:21:55

what people are coming in for until you see them.

0:21:550:21:57

I've got somebody that says they re coming for treatment for chlamydia,

0:21:570:22:00

and a couple of people where it says they're coming for a screen.

0:22:000:22:04

The others, it could be anything.

0:22:040:22:05

Taking time off tilling the land to get checked out,

0:22:050:22:08

are farmers Dan and Oli.

0:22:080:22:10

They've recently found out about the service

0:22:100:22:13

and have booked their first ever STI check.

0:22:130:22:16

You're all booked in, Daniel, if you want to take a seat,

0:22:160:22:19

just back through the door there? Right on. OK?

0:22:190:22:21

I thought it'd be a good idea to get it checked out, really.

0:22:210:22:24

I might have slept with maybe 10 people.

0:22:240:22:27

Most young farmers are pretty, eh, pretty mad for a good go, I suppose.

0:22:270:22:32

Have you ever had any unprotected sex?

0:22:330:22:36

Maybe once, or twice. Em...

0:22:360:22:40

Yeah. You look a bit sheepish there.

0:22:400:22:44

HE LAUGHS

0:22:440:22:49

It's him that needs to worry really.

0:22:490:22:52

I think some of his past partners haven't been all that, have they?

0:22:520:22:56

No, I'm not worried. I ain't got nothing to worry about.

0:22:560:22:59

Yours looks like a pickled gherkin, for Christ's sake!

0:22:590:23:03

Daniel? Yeah, that's me.

0:23:030:23:04

All right, come on this way.

0:23:060:23:07

You've not been to see us before, I don't think? No, I haven't.

0:23:070:23:11

Can I ask when you last had sex Three weeks ago.

0:23:110:23:14

Can you remember if that was with a condom or without? Without.

0:23:140:23:17

Without, OK. The check-up's all very straightforward, OK?

0:23:170:23:21

I'm very happy to examine you, but I don't need to

0:23:210:23:23

if you're not concerned that anything doesn't look or feel right.

0:23:230:23:27

Right, right, OK.

0:23:270:23:28

So what I need is a urine sample .. Right.

0:23:280:23:30

..to check for chlamydia and gonorrhoea. Mm-hm.

0:23:300:23:33

Then we normally take a blood test to check for HIV, syphilis,

0:23:330:23:35

hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

0:23:350:23:37

I'll just get a plaster to put on that for you.

0:23:410:23:43

I don't reckon I need a plaster

0:23:430:23:45

You sure? Yeah. It's not going to gush out.

0:23:450:23:47

Sometimes you get a little spot No. You sure?

0:23:470:23:49

I've had a hell of a lot worse than that. I bet you have

0:23:490:23:52

I suppose the whole nature of that life is it's all quite remote

0:23:520:23:58

and seem to know each other's business

0:23:580:24:02

How did that go?

0:24:020:24:03

Er, it was all right. Didn't jack anything down my todger.

0:24:030:24:06

Nothing to worry about. Oli? Hello.

0:24:060:24:09

How many people would you say you've had sex with

0:24:110:24:13

in the last six months, so since about February?

0:24:130:24:16

Two. Any sexual partners from abroad? Nope.

0:24:160:24:19

Paid for sex or been paid for sex? Nope.

0:24:190:24:21

And not been subject to any sexual assault or domestic abuse? No.

0:24:210:24:25

So I need to take a drop of blood from you.

0:24:250:24:27

Are you OK with needles and blood tests? Yeah.

0:24:270:24:29

I'm use to injecting things but not in myself! No!

0:24:290:24:32

Into animals or...? Yeah.

0:24:320:24:35

Yeah, yeah. It must be harder doing it to an animal, actually.

0:24:350:24:38

Well, you don't feel it, do you

0:24:380:24:40

You can't say, "Look..."

0:24:400:24:41

You can't explain to them what you're going to do.

0:24:410:24:44

No. You just go bang! Oh, right

0:24:440:24:45

Maybe that's the strategy we should take!

0:24:450:24:48

I'll give that to you. Lovely. OK. Thank you very much.

0:24:480:24:52

Take care then. Cheers, bye. Just push, yeah.

0:24:520:24:55

It's nothing anyone ever worries about, you know,

0:24:570:25:00

round our area, cos it's just kind of unheard of, really.

0:25:000:25:04

Perhaps it's unheard of because no-one's ever gone

0:25:040:25:07

and got themselves checked out

0:25:070:25:08

Perhaps if people started going

0:25:080:25:10

everyone might realise we've got a problem!

0:25:100:25:13

And the boys will find out if THEY'VE got a problem

0:25:130:25:16

when they get their results.

0:25:160:25:18

'There is kind of sexual behaviour going on

0:25:210:25:24

'that may put people at risk, but'

0:25:240:25:26

it's probably easily overlooked

0:25:260:25:29

and so it's a reason why it's important for us

0:25:290:25:31

to come to places like this.

0:25:310:25:33

In Leeds with best mate Billee Alice is waiting for her results.

0:25:410:25:46

She left it two years between check-ups

0:25:460:25:47

and her boyfriend of 18 months has never been tested.

0:25:470:25:52

What would you do if you both had it?

0:25:520:25:55

I don't know. This is why it's difficult.

0:25:550:25:57

It's like, where's it from? Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

0:25:570:26:00

If you did have something, like .. I know this sounds ridiculous..

0:26:000:26:03

What would be the least bad? Yeah!

0:26:030:26:05

Or, what would you want? As awful as that sounds.

0:26:050:26:08

Having something like HIV,

0:26:080:26:09

I can't even comprehend how bad that would be.

0:26:090:26:14

for the rest of our life.

0:26:140:26:17

whether "clap" meant gonorrhoea or chlamydia.

0:26:170:26:23

How they get rid of... There's syphilis as well. Oh, God.

0:26:230:26:25

And that back in the day - probably still does -

0:26:250:26:28

that can mess about with your brain. You do go crazy,

0:26:280:26:30

so I guess at least you have a bit of fun with it. A bit of fun?

0:26:300:26:33

That sounds awful! But, er,

0:26:330:26:35

I think chlamydia's the most common.

0:26:350:26:38

Alice will soon find out if she s caught any of the long list of STIs.

0:26:380:26:43

The neurotic, hypochondriac bit of me is like...

0:26:430:26:45

SHE PANTS QUICKLY .."Agh!"

0:26:450:26:47

because it could be bad. So...yeah.

0:26:470:26:51

For most people, getting an STI is a big surprise.

0:26:590:27:03

Can I just take your date of birth to book you in?

0:27:030:27:06

I can get you in on Thursday.

0:27:060:27:08

But it takes something extraordinary to shock the clinic staff.

0:27:080:27:12

I've think there's been a couple of people,

0:27:120:27:14

injuries with fisting, which is anal fisting.

0:27:140:27:17

Sometimes though, we'll send them to A

0:27:170:27:20

if the injuries can be that bad

0:27:200:27:21

cos they might actually need a little bit of surgery.

0:27:210:27:24

And the amount of people that cheat as well. Yeah.

0:27:240:27:27

Like married people. Married people, yeah.

0:27:270:27:30

A man and a woman came to the clinic,

0:27:300:27:32

and I'm guessing by the looks of things he'd been playing away,

0:27:320:27:35

and were at the side having a little argument in the waiting room.

0:27:350:27:38

And he was quite a tall man and she was only little.

0:27:380:27:41

And she took a running jump and she kicked him in't chest!

0:27:410:27:45

Hiya. Hi there. I've got an appointment at half past one.

0:27:500:27:53

There's two forms for you to fill out then.

0:27:530:27:55

OK, thank you.

0:27:550:27:57

Anne-Marie and Nathan are 21 and in one week,

0:27:570:28:00

they're due to get married.

0:28:000:28:02

We're going to Burger King after.

0:28:020:28:04

SHE GIGGLES

0:28:040:28:06

No.

0:28:060:28:08

Can I go to Burger King after?

0:28:080:28:10

If you like.

0:28:100:28:12

And they want to make sure

0:28:130:28:15

they start their wedded life free from STIs.

0:28:150:28:18

I'd love to be clear for the wedding.

0:28:180:28:20

I'd love to be able to stand there,

0:28:200:28:22

and when we make the statement of in sickness, in health,

0:28:220:28:24

we're actually in health when we make it!

0:28:240:28:26

It just means a lot to us right now.

0:28:260:28:28

To ensure that we're in the best position we can

0:28:280:28:30

to move forward with our family

0:28:300:28:32

Hello, I'm Dr Monteiro. Hi. Can I take that? Yeah. That's great.

0:28:410:28:44

Do you want to come through this way?

0:28:440:28:46

Would you like to have a seat there? Yeah.

0:28:480:28:50

If you pop this inside the vagina, OK.

0:28:520:28:54

And it needs to go at least up to the line. OK?

0:28:540:28:57

And then you need to twiddle it around about ten times.

0:28:570:29:00

Is there any chance I could do it really soon?

0:29:000:29:02

Cos I really need to go to the toilet. Yeah, no problem at all

0:29:020:29:05

Are you coming in as well?

0:29:080:29:09

SHE CHUCKLES

0:29:090:29:10

I'm sure there is a dodgy pun in there somewhere.

0:29:100:29:13

A Durex box with Kleenex tissues in it.

0:29:150:29:17

Do you mind shutting up?

0:29:190:29:20

Despite going out with Nathan for four years, Anne-Marie keeps

0:29:240:29:27

coming back for regular screenings.

0:29:270:29:29

In fact, this is her 25th chlamydia test.

0:29:290:29:34

So I was just interested that you've had quite a few tests for chlamydia

0:29:340:29:38

and is there a particular concern about chlamydia? Because...

0:29:380:29:41

Well, I've had chlamydia before and so has Nathan.

0:29:410:29:44

It's always with someone...other people,

0:29:440:29:46

so I caught it from my ex-partner who cheated on me.

0:29:460:29:49

So I got told there's a chance of it coming back. But it could reappear.

0:29:490:29:55

So I prefer to get it...just make sure.

0:29:550:29:58

What we do know is the treatment for chlamydia's very effective

0:29:580:30:01

Yes. So once the infection is clear, the only way you can pick it up

0:30:010:30:06

is through sexual contact within infected partners.

0:30:060:30:11

I've you've been in a monogamous relationship

0:30:110:30:13

and you've both been screened for chlamydia and you're negative,

0:30:130:30:17

and you're not having sex with any other partners, then I would say

0:30:170:30:20

that you don't really need to have... continue to have chlamydia tests.

0:30:200:30:24

But with Anne-Marie still determined to get the results

0:30:240:30:27

before the wedding day,

0:30:270:30:29

is she concerned for more than just the couple's health?

0:30:290:30:32

Why would you need to carry on coming and taking the tests

0:30:320:30:35

if you're not sleeping with anyone but me?

0:30:350:30:37

It's just for peace of mind, really.

0:30:390:30:41

Cos we both know we're not both sleeping with anyone else...

0:30:470:30:49

..so there shouldn't be any problems there.

0:30:510:30:53

Across the city, 21-year-old Alice is waiting for news from the clinic.

0:31:020:31:07

PHONE RINGS

0:31:070:31:08

Oh, God. Hello?

0:31:080:31:10

INDISTINCT VOICE ON PHONE I am.

0:31:120:31:15

Mm-hm...mm-hm...

0:31:170:31:20

mm-hmm. Mm?

0:31:200:31:23

Yeah, 11:30's fine. All right, bye. Bye.

0:31:230:31:27

I have chlamydia!

0:31:270:31:29

Oh, God. What the fuck?

0:31:290:31:30

Oh, my God. What the fuck?

0:31:300:31:32

What the fuck?

0:31:390:31:41

Oh, my God. I know, yeah.

0:31:410:31:43

Either way, it's not... I'm sorry, man.

0:31:460:31:49

What the fuck? Oh, cheers, babe

0:31:490:31:51

Yeah, I'm really, really sorry you've got it. I know.

0:31:510:31:54

I know this is going to be, like, a really, really stupid question

0:31:560:31:59

but, like, what are you going to do? How do you feel and stuff?

0:31:590:32:02

I don't know.

0:32:020:32:03

I don't think she deserves it.

0:32:080:32:10

Like, no-one deserves to have an STI or to get accidentally

0:32:100:32:14

pregnant or anything like that

0:32:140:32:16

Because, like with any STI, it's who's given it to who.

0:32:160:32:19

What's happened? How's she got it? And then, it's not fair,

0:32:190:32:23

but you have to deal with it.

0:32:230:32:24

Alice now has the tricky task of telling her boyfriend

0:32:240:32:28

and trying to work out how the chlamydia

0:32:280:32:30

entered their relationship.

0:32:300:32:32

Sasha's arriving at the city centre clinic with best mate, Fabian.

0:32:440:32:48

TANNOY: 'Please proceed to counter number one, thank you.'

0:32:480:32:51

Hiya, you all right?

0:32:510:32:52

Hi. I've got an appointment.

0:32:520:32:54

That's fine, if you just want to go up to level one.

0:32:540:32:56

All right, thank you.

0:32:560:32:58

She fears one of her exes may have left her with a nasty legacy.

0:32:580:33:02

I feel nervous but I know I need to be. When you're with someone

0:33:020:33:14

or other people like me, and you don't know what we've got!

0:33:140:33:17

I'm not going to lie.

0:33:170:33:18

Oh, God! I don't like the look of that board up there, do you?

0:33:210:33:24

Vaginas and stuff! Fucking hell

0:33:240:33:28

Looks like a stuffed turkey or something!

0:33:280:33:30

BOTH LAUGH

0:33:300:33:32

I'm Mags, I'm one of the doctors. Nice to meet you.

0:33:350:33:38

So do you have any specific worries about anything?

0:33:380:33:40

I've been told an ex-partner that I was with

0:33:400:33:43

was having, like, multiple partners

0:33:430:33:45

whilst he was with me. OK. So that's my main worry, about that.

0:33:450:33:49

OK. Any allergies to anything?

0:33:490:33:50

Chinese food. OK.

0:33:500:33:52

You're not going to wine and dine me though, are you? No No.

0:33:520:33:55

OK, so when did you last have any sex with anybody?

0:33:550:33:58

About three or four weeks ago. (Two.) Or two or three weeks ago.

0:33:580:34:02

Two weeks ago? Yeah, about two About two weeks ago.

0:34:020:34:05

When it was sunny, can't remember. Sunny? Yeah. Oh. About two.

0:34:050:34:08

So two weeks ago? And that was a one-off? Yeah.

0:34:080:34:11

OK. Male partner? Yeah. OK.

0:34:110:34:14

And is it somebody that you know or you didn't know?

0:34:140:34:17

Just an old friend.

0:34:170:34:18

OK. So did you have oral sex with him?

0:34:180:34:21

I had oral... OK. ..anal and I took... OK.

0:34:210:34:25

Did you use a condom for the oral?

0:34:250:34:27

No, but I did for everything else. OK.

0:34:270:34:30

So when did you come out of your regular relationship?

0:34:310:34:34

About May, mid-May.

0:34:340:34:36

Since then, so that's probably just over a month ago,

0:34:360:34:39

about how many different people do you think you've had sex with?

0:34:390:34:42

About three or four. OK.

0:34:420:34:46

So the tests we'll be taking

0:34:460:34:47

are to check for chlamydia and gonorrhoea. Right.

0:34:470:34:49

OK, and then ask for a urine sample as well. Yeah, that's fine.

0:34:490:34:53

OK. Do you want to come through

0:34:530:34:56

Are you going to wait here? No, he can come with me.

0:34:560:34:58

Are you sure? Yeah, positive. Yeah, OK, fine.

0:34:580:35:01

We'd normally ask you to take your bottom things off and put a gown on.

0:35:010:35:04

Is that OK? What colour's the gown?

0:35:040:35:06

It's blue. Well, white with blue bits on it.

0:35:060:35:08

Can I just keep this one on? Yeah.

0:35:080:35:11

If I had a belt, I probably would, I'm not going to lie.

0:35:110:35:13

What I'm going to do is your throat swab first.

0:35:130:35:16

That's fine.

0:35:160:35:17

Then we'll have a look down here, OK, then we'll take the swabs.

0:35:170:35:20

Sasha is tested for gonorrhoea chlamydia, HIV and syphilis.

0:35:200:35:25

Right, I want you to say "ah" for me.

0:35:250:35:27

I'll just sit back. Like when you had tonsillitis.

0:35:270:35:34

Not in the clinic here, no.

0:35:340:35:35

I'm really trying to get someone who's a bit cheaper.

0:35:350:35:39

Get yourself sorted. Thank you See you soon. See you again, bye.

0:35:390:35:43

As somebody who is presenting as a female, as a girl,

0:35:440:35:48

we would see them as a girl and we would aim to see them

0:35:480:35:52

in the female examination room

0:35:520:35:54

which sometimes might be slightly more difficult if they are pre-op,

0:35:540:35:57

but, I mean, it's very straightforward

0:35:570:35:59

to work round that, really.

0:35:590:36:01

Now, it's a waiting game, in't it?

0:36:010:36:03

And it is quite a bit since we last got... Checked.

0:36:030:36:06

It's only, like, April.

0:36:060:36:07

Like, I think we both need to start maybe doing it a bit more often

0:36:070:36:11

We need to start getting checked or stop having sex.

0:36:110:36:13

Yeah! One or't other. Either one of the two!

0:36:130:36:15

I know. Help me up, help an old lady up.

0:36:150:36:19

She's taking the brave step of getting tested.

0:36:190:36:22

Now Sasha must wait to see if her STI fears come true.

0:36:220:36:26

Lexi? Yeah. Hiya. Hello. Come through. I'm Karina.

0:36:380:36:43

Sasha is far from the only transgender person

0:36:430:36:46

to use the Leeds clinic.

0:36:460:36:48

We're going to do a rectal swab

0:36:480:36:50

And today one patient is causing sister Karina some confusion.

0:36:530:36:57

You did that really well, didn't you?

0:36:570:36:59

I've had practice!

0:36:590:37:02

Do you have oral sex, yeah? Yeah. Is that giving or receiving, or both?

0:37:020:37:05

Both.

0:37:050:37:06

Are you having periods? (No.)

0:37:060:37:08

No, you won't be. Sorry, you won't be having periods!

0:37:080:37:10

What a daft question, sorry.

0:37:100:37:12

And no pregnancies?

0:37:140:37:15

No pregnancies. Unfortunately.

0:37:150:37:17

Talk about asking a daft question.

0:37:190:37:22

KARINA LAUGHS I'm sorry!

0:37:220:37:23

KARINA CHUCKLES

0:37:250:37:27

'Well, I did actually ask her when her last period was.'

0:37:270:37:30

Obviously, she's got a penis, so ..

0:37:300:37:33

I did feel a bit sort of...incompetent.

0:37:330:37:37

We did have a bit of a laugh about it.

0:37:370:37:38

I mean, she did tell me to cross the vulva out.

0:37:380:37:42

But I've said, "My drawings of penises are..."

0:37:420:37:45

Oh, yeah! "..are not very good. Childlike.

0:37:450:37:48

They'd have a wonky testicle or something!

0:37:480:37:52

Don't worry about it, it's fine

0:37:520:37:54

I feel like crying. Don't!

0:37:540:37:56

MOOING

0:38:040:38:05

Finish these drinks!

0:38:070:38:08

BELCHING

0:38:110:38:12

Dan and Oli are getting ready for a young farmers' night out

0:38:120:38:15

FURTHER BELCHING

0:38:150:38:16

A young farmers' event is like when, er, all the young farmers

0:38:160:38:22

basically have a good piss-up.

0:38:220:38:24

The boys are not letting a potential STI stop them

0:38:240:38:27

hunting for their perfect girl

0:38:270:38:29

Yeah, farmers' daughters with lots of acres. Yeah!

0:38:290:38:32

They're always round, but let's try and find one with no brothers

0:38:320:38:36

and lots of acres, or cousins.

0:38:360:38:40

It's a hard thing to find.

0:38:400:38:41

ENGINES REV

0:38:440:38:46

CHEERING AND SHOUTING

0:38:460:38:47

Oh, yeah. The cars are rolling in. It's got potential, I'd say.

0:38:470:38:52

Let's get in there, have a few sharpeners, I suppose.

0:38:520:38:55

Two rum and cokes, please.

0:38:590:39:02

If you speak to a lot of old farmers,

0:39:020:39:04

they say, you know, "How did you meet your wife?"

0:39:040:39:08

And they'll tell you, "At a young farmers' piss-up."

0:39:080:39:11

How many acres you got?

0:39:110:39:13

None, ha-ha! She has no acres.

0:39:130:39:16

Yeah, apparently I'm not a future wife.

0:39:160:39:18

A farmer's wife is hard to find

0:39:200:39:22

especially when you're waiting for STI results.

0:39:220:39:25

Haven't you got your result yet No.

0:39:250:39:28

Have you really? I don't have anything to worry about.

0:39:280:39:31

Neither have I! What about you, Oli?

0:39:310:39:33

DAN LAUGHS

0:39:330:39:35

Who knows? Who knows!

0:39:350:39:37

How's your test results come back? I don't know yet.

0:39:370:39:40

Have you ever felt the urge to go and get yourself tested at all?

0:39:400:39:44

Have you been in a few dirty fannies?

0:39:450:39:49

But at least the lads' clinic trip has inspired new

0:39:490:39:52

a chat-up technique.

0:39:520:39:54

How many sexual partners have you had?

0:39:540:39:56

None. I'm a good girl. I'm a very good girl.

0:39:560:40:00

From what I've heard, you've had your share of unprotected sex.

0:40:000:40:11

Is it ever something

0:40:110:40:15

No? No. You're always very cautious.

0:40:150:40:18

GIRL: No sex before marriage.

0:40:180:40:19

With no wives bagged and a different type of seed to sow

0:40:190:40:23

early in the morning, the farmers call it a night.

0:40:230:40:25

So I'll see you later.

0:40:250:40:27

MUSIC: "Country House" by Blur

0:40:320:40:35

The next morning, a sober Dan is worried that a positive STI result

0:40:390:40:43

might taper his chances of ever finding a wife with acres.

0:40:430:40:47

You could get a bad name for yourself very quickly

0:40:490:40:53

if you did end up having something and spreading it around.

0:40:530:40:57

There's a lot of times when you can't go out in the evenings

0:40:570:41:01

in the harvest time and that and, you know, all the hours you put in.

0:41:010:41:05

And when you do get to go out, I think a lot of us,

0:41:050:41:09

we do go quite hard.

0:41:090:41:12

And Dan will soon find out

0:41:120:41:14

if going hard without a condom has given him an STI.

0:41:140:41:18

In Leeds, Sasha's meeting up with best friend Fabian

0:41:270:41:30

for a pep talk ahead of her results.

0:41:300:41:32

You've got to expect the best and hope for worst.

0:41:330:41:36

Hope for worst?! Are you serous What am I saying?

0:41:360:41:39

Say it the other way round, but then flip it.

0:41:390:41:42

So you're saying, "Hope for the best and expect the worst."

0:41:420:41:44

You've got to hope for the best and expect the worst.

0:41:440:41:47

Just go with an open mind.

0:41:470:41:50

Open mind, open legs.

0:41:500:41:52

Just think positive, that way.

0:41:520:41:53

STD positive.

0:41:530:41:55

Negative.

0:41:550:41:57

Negative. STD negative and I'm going to think positive

0:41:570:42:00

I think the anticipation's starting to kill me... Yeah.

0:42:000:42:03

..for these results.

0:42:030:42:04

What are you actually expecting

0:42:040:42:06

I'm expecting to have summat.

0:42:060:42:07

What'd be the worst thing for you to happen today? Obviously, like..

0:42:070:42:11

The worst thing... If you just checked all the boxes!

0:42:110:42:14

The worst thing that could happen...

0:42:140:42:17

could be, like, summat that's incurable like HIV.

0:42:170:42:20

Things like HIV and stuff.

0:42:200:42:21

It's, like, not necessarily the illness

0:42:210:42:23

that's the most upsetting part, it's...

0:42:230:42:25

The ripple effect. Yeah. What happens after.

0:42:250:42:32

Yeah, I'd still support you.

0:42:320:42:34

Will you be able to have gender reassignment

0:42:340:42:36

if you've got summat?

0:42:360:42:38

Yeah, but not with, like, HIV and stuff.

0:42:380:42:41

So, if you have HIV you just can't...? That's so bad.

0:42:410:42:43

You die.

0:42:430:42:44

As in, if you did the surgery, you'd just die?

0:42:440:42:46

No, then you're better off dead

0:42:460:42:48

Pfff! Because they won't do your surgery.

0:42:480:42:52

I think a lot of people think it's a choice to be trans, and it's not.

0:42:520:42:56

I don't want to be like this.

0:42:560:42:57

If I had summat that were incurable,

0:42:570:42:59

that were going to affect my surgery, I'd just go.

0:42:590:43:01

What do you mean? Just die. Kill me. That'd be the worst way to go.

0:43:010:43:08

I'd have it on my coffin, engraved - "Died a boy."

0:43:080:43:12

Even for open-minded clinic staff,

0:43:190:43:22

treating patients like Sasha can be an eye-opener.

0:43:220:43:25

Well, I remember when I first came here

0:43:260:43:28

and we went in to see this patient

0:43:280:43:30

and...it was a very feminine patient, very glamorous.

0:43:300:43:35

Obviously lots of lovely, you know, feminine clothes.

0:43:350:43:38

And nobody warned me, and then when they lifted their gown up,

0:43:380:43:43

it was all male genitalia and I was quite shocked.

0:43:430:43:46

The patient who I saw, she had a sexual pro forma for a lady,

0:43:460:43:50

so it was quite confusing.

0:43:500:43:52

I asked her when her last period was, and she's obviously got a penis

0:43:520:43:55

so she's not going to have periods, so...

0:43:550:43:58

SHE SIGHS

0:43:580:43:59

After Karina's recent slip-up with a transgender patient,

0:44:030:44:07

she and the rest of the staff are keen

0:44:070:44:09

to do some refresher training.

0:44:090:44:11

I think part of me inside is thinking,

0:44:130:44:14

"Please don't let me ask the wrong question." You're like almost..

0:44:140:44:17

well, me personally, almost focusing on what you're saying

0:44:170:44:20

that actually you're focusing a bit too much.

0:44:200:44:22

I don't know the difference between a transman or a transwoman?

0:44:220:44:26

"Trans" means that...it stands for the transition

0:44:260:44:28

and then whatever's on the end is what that person is identifying as.

0:44:280:44:33

Transsexual is just somebody that

0:44:330:44:35

dresses in the opposite sex...clothes?

0:44:350:44:38

Like Eddie Izzard or somebody like that? Yeah, Lily Savage?

0:44:380:44:40

No, I wouldn't say Lily Savage was transsexual. No.

0:44:400:44:44

He would identify as a transsexual, wouldn't he?

0:44:440:44:48

It is confusing. It IS confusing.

0:44:480:44:49

It's why I want to learn more. It's why this talk is valid, really

0:44:490:44:53

Have no assumptions about anything, Jane. Anything.

0:44:530:44:56

Don't think that this is this person and they're called this.

0:44:560:45:00

Do we say transperson?

0:45:000:45:02

Transperson's probably the most. . the least offensive term to use

0:45:020:45:07

It's already uncomfortable coming here for anybody

0:45:070:45:09

regardless of their gender, sexuality.

0:45:090:45:11

You just want to provide a good service.

0:45:110:45:13

You want to be making sure they are going on the right floor,

0:45:130:45:15

they are being asked the right questions and that they're not going

0:45:150:45:18

to go away feeling uncomfortable and they don't want to come back.

0:45:180:45:21

All right.

0:45:280:45:30

With the glasses she looked kind of smart and sexy at the same time.

0:45:320:45:35

She got nice everything.

0:45:370:45:39

In Exeter, best mates Ziggy and Slim

0:45:390:45:41

are due to get their results from the clinic.

0:45:410:45:44

If you get the sickness, they're going to call you.

0:45:440:45:47

If you don't got it, you get a text.

0:45:470:45:49

Oh, my days. Oh, I got a message! Look.

0:45:490:45:54

"The results of the test at the clinic are negative."

0:45:540:45:58

All clear. Eat that shit!

0:45:580:46:00

THEY LAUGH

0:46:000:46:02

I don't got shit.

0:46:020:46:04

I don't got shit. They don't text me, man.

0:46:040:46:06

Oh, look, I'm going to save it for life.

0:46:060:46:08

Now I don't have nothing to worry about.

0:46:080:46:11

Just enjoying, and always use condoms.

0:46:110:46:13

I just need to find someone to use them with.

0:46:130:46:15

Check your phone, you may have some too.

0:46:170:46:18

You better be honest, man. Fuck

0:46:190:46:21

You too? Read that shit.

0:46:250:46:26

"The results of your recent test at the clinic are positive

0:46:260:46:30

"You got all the illness possible.

0:46:300:46:33

"You're going to die in one day "

0:46:330:46:36

Oh, I can't believe it.

0:46:360:46:37

My heart just wants to pop out of my chest, man. Oh, I can't breathe.

0:46:370:46:40

Let me send this to these girls All the girls.

0:46:400:46:43

I know I've got the cleanest, meanest penis.

0:46:460:46:49

Slim's also got the all clear,

0:46:500:46:52

but perhaps the stress has inspired a change.

0:46:520:46:55

Nah, I think I'm going to buy a box-load of condoms,

0:46:550:46:57

cos I don't want to do another test, they're telling me,

0:46:570:47:07

Hey, you all right? Yeah.

0:47:130:47:15

In Leeds, after being diagnosed with chlamydia,

0:47:150:47:18

Alice had to undergo a course of antibiotics.

0:47:180:47:21

You all right? Yeah, I'm good. I'm just tired.

0:47:210:47:23

It's too warm, that's why.

0:47:230:47:25

Best mate Billee wants to know how her boyfriend swallowed the news.

0:47:250:47:29

I saw him later that afternoon He was fine about it.

0:47:290:47:31

That's good, cos there's no point in getting

0:47:310:47:34

all crazy. Jeremy Kyle-ing about it. Yeah

0:47:340:47:37

There's no point trying to point the finger at anybody

0:47:370:47:40

because it's something that I could have given to him

0:47:400:47:42

or he could have given it to me From my point of view,

0:47:420:47:44

and from what I was told by the health care assistant,

0:47:440:47:47

she just said there's no point turning round

0:47:470:47:49

to your boyfriend and going, "You obviously cheated on me.

0:47:490:47:51

"This has happened. We're breaking up for ever!"

0:47:510:47:53

because she was like, "That might not be the case."

0:47:530:47:55

It's just such a complicated but simple process,

0:47:550:47:59

in that it's so simple to get

0:47:590:48:00

but so complicated to figure out that you can

0:48:000:48:03

kind of cause unhappiness when you don't really need to.

0:48:030:48:07

It's been resolved.

0:48:070:48:08

It's been resolved, that's a good way of putting it

0:48:080:48:11

Yeah. Good, I'm glad.

0:48:110:48:12

It's resolved now. I'm really glad.

0:48:120:48:14

And we can all have a good old laugh about it at my expense.

0:48:140:48:16

For years to come. Yep.

0:48:160:48:19

In Devon, farmer Oli is a natural with his tractor.

0:48:300:48:33

But with his STI results due, is his other equipment in such good shape?

0:48:330:48:38

We've been busy combining, harvesting and baling, so...

0:48:390:48:44

I haven't been worrying about them too much, really.

0:48:440:48:47

At the age of 23, after unprotected sex with 10 partners,

0:48:470:48:51

Oli took his first ever test with best mate Dan.

0:48:510:48:55

Yeah, I'd be gutted if I had something and Dan didn't.

0:48:550:48:58

Nervous times. Oh, I got a text

0:49:000:49:03

"Dear Oli,

0:49:030:49:05

"the results of your recent test at the clinic are negative.

0:49:050:49:08

"All clear. Thank you."

0:49:080:49:10

Yes!

0:49:110:49:12

Top result. Can't get any better.

0:49:140:49:16

Oli's clear to plough once more but has his mate Dan been as lucky?

0:49:170:49:22

PHONE RINGS

0:49:220:49:28

You had your text yet?

0:49:280:49:30

Yeah, I have. You? Yeah. You're all clear?

0:49:300:49:34

Yeah, you clear? I'm clear.

0:49:340:49:36

Oh, rock on.

0:49:370:49:39

All right, then, I will see you in a bit.

0:49:390:49:41

Yeah, catch you later. All right, bye.

0:49:420:49:45

Both negative, yeah. It's good

0:49:450:49:48

Yeah, I think I'm one jammy bugger, really. Yeah.

0:49:500:49:53

Dodged a bullet there.

0:49:530:49:55

I didn't expect it to come in such a small box.

0:50:040:50:07

This one is small as well.

0:50:070:50:08

This is my overpriced wedding suit.

0:50:110:50:16

With no tail at the back because, well, I'm a person, not a bird

0:50:160:50:21

In Leeds, it's the day before Anne-Marie and Nathan

0:50:210:50:24

take their wedding vows.

0:50:240:50:25

Married life will mark a fresh start for the couple.

0:50:250:50:28

We have had a really rough start to the relationship.

0:50:280:50:31

A long time ago, when we first got together,

0:50:330:50:36

I kind of cheated on Nathan,

0:50:360:50:38

and he's kind of got me back quite a lot of times for that.

0:50:380:50:41

Today the pair will hear back from the clinic and for Anne-Marie,

0:50:410:50:45

the results have implications for more than just her health.

0:50:450:50:49

I do trust Nathan, but I guess we'll both have that sort of feeling

0:50:490:50:55

We know we've cheated on each other before.

0:50:550:50:57

There's always something in your mind saying,

0:50:570:50:59

"It could happen again."

0:50:590:51:01

I love her to pieces,

0:51:010:51:02

so...there's no doubt in my mind that I'm doing the right thing

0:51:020:51:05

so there's no place for nerves to set in.

0:51:050:51:08

MOBILE RINGS

0:51:080:51:12

Hello. 'Oh, hi, is that Anne-Marie?' Speaking.

0:51:120:51:15

'Hi, it's Michelle from the sexual health clinic in Leeds.

0:51:150:51:18

'I'm really pleased to let you know that your results are negative.

0:51:180:51:22

That's brilliant.

0:51:220:51:23

All right, then. Thank you.

0:51:240:51:26

'Bye!' Bye.

0:51:260:51:28

All negative.

0:51:280:51:29

That's brilliant news.

0:51:290:51:31

SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

0:51:310:51:32

Yeah. How did you get on? I'm all right.

0:51:320:51:36

I've got some news.

0:51:360:51:38

Oh, they left a message for you Yeah, I've got my results.

0:51:380:51:41

Still waiting on yours. Let me guess, all clear?

0:51:410:51:44

Yeah.

MOBILE RINGS

0:51:500:51:52

Hello. 'Hi, Jason, I'm just phoning to give you your results.'

0:51:520:51:55

Only an all clear for both

0:51:550:51:56

can stop their wedding taking place under an STI cloud.

0:51:560:52:01

'Just to inform you that all your results are negative.

0:52:010:52:04

That's fantastic news, thank you. 'Fantastic. You're welcome.

0:52:040:52:06

'Thank you, love, bye-bye.' Thank you, bye! 'Bye.'

0:52:060:52:09

Both all clear!

0:52:120:52:15

Brilliant.

0:52:150:52:16

We've been counting down days for so long,

0:52:170:52:19

and now we're counting down hours.

0:52:190:52:21

Just think, eh, babe.

0:52:210:52:22

You're never going to have anyone else but me ever again.

0:52:220:52:25

Yep.

0:52:250:52:26

Hi, babe, I'm just here for my results.

0:52:370:52:40

Beauty therapist Sasha's nervous wait is almost over,

0:52:400:52:44

and her best friend Fabian is sticking by her side.

0:52:440:52:48

I am anxious for her.

0:52:480:52:50

I think, with Sasha, obviously

0:52:500:52:52

because there is a lot more at stake, such as HIV or syphilis.

0:52:520:52:56

That's not a thought in my head because I don't think about it

0:52:560:52:59

I can't think about it. Genuinely, I can't actually think about that.

0:52:590:53:03

Sasha? Y'all right? I'm all right, thank you. Are you?

0:53:050:53:08

Good, I'm not bad. It a bit too hot, though, isn't it? A bit sweaty

0:53:080:53:12

Come down, come with me. Where are we going?

0:53:120:53:14

We're going to go right down the end here if that's all right?

0:53:140:53:17

So I'll just go through what we did for you.

0:53:170:53:19

We looked for HIV, syphilis,

0:53:190:53:23

hepatitis B, hepatitis C.

0:53:230:53:26

We looked for chlamydia and gonorrhoea.

0:53:260:53:29

And it's all come back negative all right? Right, that's fine.

0:53:290:53:32

Were you worrying about it? That's really good.

0:53:320:53:35

That's really good!

0:53:350:53:36

Tell me that's not good. Yeah, that's good.

0:53:360:53:39

Oh, I'm happy. Wahey!

0:53:390:53:41

Wahey! Oh, my gosh! That's really good.

0:53:410:53:44

Oh, that's so great, honestly. Excellent. I'm happy.

0:53:440:53:48

All right! Well, that's you sorted, then.

0:53:480:53:51

Thank you. That's all right. It's nice to give good news. It is.

0:53:510:53:55

Yeah, we need a hug, we do, that's what I need.

0:53:550:54:05

"Oh, you're...not clean.

0:54:050:54:09

"You could have AIDS," people telling me,

0:54:090:54:11

or stuff like this, texting me

0:54:110:54:12

"Your ex has been sleeping around, go and get yourself checked."

0:54:120:54:16

I don't have to worry about that now, cos I know I'm clean, so it's fine.

0:54:160:54:19

It's great news for Sasha

0:54:190:54:20

and a chance for her to rethink her approach to relationships.

0:54:200:54:24

I think what I want to do now is take things a lot slower.

0:54:250:54:29

Like a lot slower.

0:54:310:54:32

I feel like I've had my experience, I've gone wild,

0:54:320:54:35

now it's time to be a good girl

0:54:350:54:36

Keep my head down and do what I need to do.

0:54:380:54:40

The worm has turned!

0:54:400:54:42

Not going to be heading towards the sex.

0:54:430:54:46

Heading towards the relationships.

0:54:460:54:48

The worm has turned.

0:54:480:54:50

I like that, I love that saying

0:54:500:54:52

Ah, Fabio... Fabio!

0:54:520:54:54

Time for a well-deserved drink Definitely!

0:54:580:55:01

Sasha can look forward to her future,

0:55:050:55:07

and for the clinic's staff,

0:55:070:55:09

it's the end of another long day of fighting STIs.

0:55:090:55:12

Diplococci.

0:55:120:55:14

And that is not a dinosaur, it's gonorrhoea.

0:55:140:55:17

Those are extinct.

0:55:170:55:19

Unfortunately, gonorrhoea isn't

0:55:190:55:21

Been busy all day, to be honest I feel quite tired.

0:55:220:55:26

I'm ready now to go and meet my friend and have a drink.

0:55:270:55:30

And a curry!

0:55:300:55:33

Ha! My reward!

0:55:330:55:34

Goodbye!

0:55:440:55:45

Next time on Unsafe Sex In The City: Scott's drunken nights out...

0:55:470:55:51

Whoo! ..lead to a sobering experience at the clinic.

0:55:510:55:54

Oh, my God, I'm so nervous!

0:55:540:55:56

You think you're probably having unprotected sex

0:55:560:55:59

with strangers most weekends. I guess so, yeah.

0:55:590:56:02

Chloe confides in her mum about her recent STI test.

0:56:020:56:05

What if it comes back positive for AIDS?

0:56:050:56:07

And how would you feel about the person that gave me AIDS?

0:56:070:56:10

I'd probably de-ball them.

0:56:100:56:13

And big man Carl... Can I have your digits?

0:56:130:56:15

..gets fresh with the ladies.

0:56:150:56:18

Do you want some condoms? Yes, please. There we go.

0:56:180:56:20

They don't make 'em big enough though, for me.

0:56:200:56:22

Oh, thank you! Oh, dear...
