More young people than ever are catching

:00:07.:00:08.

Britain's STI clinics are the first stop for anyone

:00:09.:00:12.

who thinks a night of passion might mean

:00:13.:00:15.

You've got a bit of discharge. It was quite offensive in odour

:00:16.:00:22.

This series goes behind the doors of two clinics ..

:00:23.:00:28.

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

:00:29.:00:36.

Leeds, with its huge student population...

:00:37.:00:41.

It's pretty much all unprotected sex.

:00:42.:00:46.

Why are we not looking after little Olly?

:00:47.:00:51.

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

:00:52.:00:55.

This is Exeter! Everyone sleeps with everyone!

:00:56.:00:57.

Getting a sexually-transmitted infection from a farm animal.

:00:58.:01:05.

We help bring patients to get checked out...

:01:06.:01:07.

I've trusted people that I shouldn't have. Oh, my God!

:01:08.:01:11.

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

:01:12.:01:14.

12 months? 20 partners? That's well shocked me!

:01:15.:01:20.

Your results from your recent visit are...

:01:21.:01:25.

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

:01:26.:01:34.

if you're not sleeping with anyone but me?

:01:35.:01:36.

This week, in Exeter, Scott's drunken exploits

:01:37.:01:48.

Having something that can kill me slowly, in time,

:01:49.:01:54.

I think that would be the worst thing.

:01:55.:01:59.

While in Leeds, Chloe has been experiencing

:02:00.:02:01.

Is the breaking of the condom a regular thing?

:02:02.:02:06.

He's absolutely massive and it doesn't seem to want to stay on

:02:07.:02:13.

Do you always make sure you use condoms?

:02:14.:02:18.

Yeah. They just don't make them big enough for me.

:02:19.:02:20.

OK. You take care and I'll see you tomorrow.

:02:21.:02:44.

daily deliveries brighten everyone's day.

:02:45.:02:50.

I had a green one. I don't know where it's gone.

:02:51.:03:03.

That's not very nice! I said that to you when you came in with it

:03:04.:03:10.

and you said they said that this morning. Yeah.

:03:11.:03:12.

Hello, sir. How can I help? Waiting room one on your left.

:03:13.:03:22.

the pair have come to the clinic to see if they've picked up

:03:23.:03:48.

My thoughts going in is I'm clean as a whistle.

:03:49.:03:52.

You don't know. I DO know! You don't know. I DO know!

:03:53.:03:56.

After the weekend, I don't know but I'm fairly adamant I'm OK!

:03:57.:04:02.

I'm Luke. I'm one of the nurses How are you doing? All good.

:04:03.:04:10.

You've been to us before. I have. A couple of times.

:04:11.:04:12.

Any discharge coming out of the penis?

:04:13.:04:15.

Pain in the testicles? Pain when you go for a wee?

:04:16.:04:18.

Anything like that? No. I haven't had any of that.

:04:19.:04:21.

Apart from blue balls on Friday night. Blue balls?

:04:22.:04:24.

You might have to explain that one to me.

:04:25.:04:27.

Just when you don't finish, you can't finish

:04:28.:04:30.

Have you come at this point already? No, I haven't.

:04:31.:04:35.

It's your body's way of saying "Let me out."

:04:36.:04:40.

And you're still erect at this point?

:04:41.:04:42.

When did you last have any sexual contact, then?

:04:43.:04:48.

It was a one-off. I met her at a festival.

:04:49.:04:54.

Did you use condoms? We did but they broke.

:04:55.:04:57.

Before that, when did you last have sexual contact

:04:58.:05:00.

with somebody different? About three weeks before. Any condoms? No.

:05:01.:05:03.

Sexual contact with someone other than her? A week before.

:05:04.:05:06.

Did they break or were they all right? They were fine

:05:07.:05:11.

I don't even know her name, to be honest.

:05:12.:05:16.

Generally, what is your condom use like?

:05:17.:05:19.

I'm improving. If it's asked for, I'll put one on.

:05:20.:05:22.

It's an improvement, as far as I'm concerned.

:05:23.:05:24.

Was it not at all? It was not at all before.

:05:25.:05:26.

When you say not agree, what do you mean? When you put one on,

:05:27.:05:31.

sometimes a lot of men suffer with it.

:05:32.:05:33.

It goes down. It's like putting a plastic bag over your head.

:05:34.:05:46.

OK, so... You grab a seat out there for me.

:05:47.:05:56.

Robbie's been tested before so knows the score.

:05:57.:06:01.

But for little brother Tom, it's all new.

:06:02.:06:04.

I don't want anything put up anything.

:06:05.:06:07.

He doesn't want a cotton bud. I do. It doesn't even hurt.

:06:08.:06:10.

I didn't even know they did that until you told me about it.

:06:11.:06:12.

It doesn't even hurt. Be a man. I'm going to be a man

:06:13.:06:16.

They've taken my blood. That's me being a man. OK.

:06:17.:06:19.

Good afternoon. Exeter walk-in centre. Sorry about that,

:06:20.:06:37.

Five. That's not a problem. See you tomorrow. Bye.

:06:38.:06:44.

I need a urine sample from you for the chlamydia, gonorrhoea.

:06:45.:06:55.

Then if we can do a blood test for the HIV and syphilis.

:06:56.:06:58.

How are you with needles? I hate them with a passion.

:06:59.:07:02.

What is it about condoms you don't like?

:07:03.:07:09.

I never have one on me at the time when it's going down.

:07:10.:07:11.

I'm not willing to go out looking for one

:07:12.:07:13.

when you're getting caught up on things.

:07:14.:07:15.

It's not like I put it on and lose an erection.

:07:16.:07:18.

It's what my brother said, in the past.

:07:19.:07:20.

That's good because I can give you loads of condoms.

:07:21.:07:29.

They put a needle in me. I didn't like that much

:07:30.:07:33.

but I got some condoms so it's not all bad.

:07:34.:07:36.

Took about 30 condoms, different size ranges.

:07:37.:07:38.

The boys have to wait to find out if not wrapping up

:07:39.:07:51.

I have the means to on Facebook but I'm not still talking to them

:07:52.:07:54.

like how was it for you kind of thing.

:07:55.:07:56.

It's the same with me. If I need to contact them, I will

:07:57.:08:01.

but there's a few I wouldn't be able to contact.

:08:02.:08:04.

Short of following them on nights out

:08:05.:08:12.

it's about having that open-door policy

:08:13.:08:15.

and saying you know you should If it all fails,

:08:16.:08:18.

In Leeds, Staff Nurse Tim's day has got off

:08:19.:08:42.

We're positive for herpes so you need to be aware that

:08:43.:08:48.

What's up? It's bizarre. Herpes always seems to go down

:08:49.:09:01.

I find more guys are accepting of HIV than they are herpes. Really?

:09:02.:09:07.

Why is it that one's a big bogey for us?

:09:08.:09:13.

I wonder why social stigma has attached itself to that one

:09:14.:09:19.

"Chlamydia? I can live with that. Herpes? That's the end of

:09:20.:09:25.

What's the big deal? Everyone has sex.

:09:26.:09:35.

And people's response when I'm in this job,

:09:36.:09:37.

"Oh, my God, you must see some really..."

:09:38.:09:39.

And I'm like, "No. Actually, I see some normal people who've

:09:40.:09:42.

"had a bit of bad luck." Could happen to anyone.

:09:43.:09:53.

I had the HPV virus on my cervix, which causes

:09:54.:09:58.

abnormal growth cells in your cervix.

:09:59.:10:01.

So, I've had a biopsy and a full removal

:10:02.:10:04.

It's like I was never really that bothered about it before

:10:05.:10:15.

and six months of torturous waiting for results has just made me

:10:16.:10:19.

the most safe person in the history of the world.

:10:20.:10:23.

But a recent condom split has brought Chloe back to the clinic.

:10:24.:10:27.

and I've had, like, a bit of spotting, like, bleeding afterwards,

:10:28.:10:31.

so I thought I'd come and get it checked out.

:10:32.:10:34.

It has been but then I wasn't sure if that was just because...

:10:35.:10:45.

the questions around your sexual life.

:10:46.:10:54.

So, when was the last time you had sex with anybody?

:10:55.:10:57.

Did he use a condom? Yes, but it broke.

:10:58.:11:03.

So, is the breaking of the condom a regular thing?

:11:04.:11:06.

He's absolutely massive and it just doesn't seem to want to stay on

:11:07.:11:12.

It's...but then I think that's also part of the pain thing as well

:11:13.:11:16.

I'm not sure if it's cos it's a bigger penis than I'm used to

:11:17.:11:20.

Guys are different sizes, that's true,

:11:21.:11:24.

but condoms are quite stretchy and some of them you can

:11:25.:11:28.

actually get for the more better equipped guys.

:11:29.:11:38.

Now, get yourself comfy. Pop your legs over.

:11:39.:11:42.

if the pain Chloe's experiencing during sex is due to an STI.

:11:43.:11:48.

I'm just going to have a look on the outside first,

:11:49.:11:50.

and then take a swap and then we'll look inside. OK? Cool.

:11:51.:12:02.

The cervix has healed very well after the treatment

:12:03.:12:05.

and there's just a bit of a discharge around it

:12:06.:12:07.

so we'll check that under the microscope and see what's going on.

:12:08.:12:15.

Do you want to pop your legs together and pop them on the chair there

:12:16.:12:19.

The neck of the womb has been operated on.

:12:20.:12:22.

It's had a small piece removed as part of the colposcopy

:12:23.:12:25.

treatment she's had, and it might be why she's seeing some bleeding

:12:26.:12:30.

On examination, I spotted a discharge that could be bacterial vaginosis,

:12:31.:12:35.

so we'll see how the results work out on that.

:12:36.:12:39.

Chloe will have to wait a week to see if history has repeated itself.

:12:40.:12:44.

so if I have got it it's just the luck of the draw.

:12:45.:12:50.

I don't want to be walking around with something that could

:12:51.:12:54.

mess up my fertility and, like, mess up my life.

:12:55.:13:08.

When temperature go up, inhibitions go down,

:13:09.:13:10.

and the number of patients coming through

:13:11.:13:12.

So, I think younger people may think they're invincible as well.

:13:13.:13:20.

Alcohol. And alcohol. Alcohol's a biggie

:13:21.:13:24.

because people don't think of the consequences

:13:25.:13:26.

if they're drinking too much. Definitely.

:13:27.:13:28.

I've agreed to do all sorts of things after

:13:29.:13:31.

a couple of glasses of wine, not sexual.

:13:32.:13:33.

Yeah, that'll be a good idea. We'll do that.

:13:34.:13:36.

"What did I say I was going to do?" Yeah.

:13:37.:13:40.

After a booze-fuelled summer, 21-year-old Scott has

:13:41.:13:43.

come to the Exeter clinic for his first ever STI test.

:13:44.:13:48.

Oh, my God, I'm so nervous. You've got to help me.

:13:49.:13:52.

Leave them alone. I love the trannies.

:13:53.:14:08.

'They're worried about me on nights out, downing so much alcohol.

:14:09.:14:12.

'And even though they're crazy I go a little bit extra crazy.

:14:13.:14:17.

I'll end up in random places with no clothes on and...

:14:18.:14:20.

with people I don't know who they are.

:14:21.:14:22.

And they're just worried for what is happening to me.

:14:23.:14:27.

All right, and so when did you most recently have sex?

:14:28.:14:36.

Do you know approximately how many people you had sex with?

:14:37.:14:44.

And, with the man, can you tell me what type of sex you had?

:14:45.:14:55.

It was just oral. Was the oral sex protected?

:14:56.:14:59.

I didn't know it had to be protected, you know what I mean

:15:00.:15:03.

Quite awkward. I don't think anyone knows.

:15:04.:15:05.

No-one really protects with that. Yeah.

:15:06.:15:08.

I mean, our advice generally is that all types of sex should be protected,

:15:09.:15:13.

and the reason is that there are some infections we know can...

:15:14.:15:18.

..contracted through oral sex. Gonorrhoea, syphilis. Oh, my God!

:15:19.:15:24.

Try to use condoms as much as possible.

:15:25.:15:26.

And the last time you had sex with anybody different from those people?

:15:27.:15:30.

Like, I remember going to places and probably doing it,

:15:31.:15:33.

but I don't really remember, you know what I mean?

:15:34.:15:36.

Go out every weekend and always end up... OK.

:15:37.:15:40.

So, you think you're probably having unprotected sex with strangers

:15:41.:15:44.

most weekends? I guess so, yeah.

:15:45.:15:46.

And do you remember ever having had anal sex,

:15:47.:15:49.

or woken up feeling like you might have had anal sex?

:15:50.:15:52.

I thought I would do that with someone

:15:53.:15:55.

if I actually liked them, so.. OK.

:15:56.:15:58.

Yeah, I would say quite a lot of drinks.

:15:59.:16:07.

Are you aware that your behaviour changes

:16:08.:16:10.

Yeah, I'm definitely a different person sort of thing. Yeah.

:16:11.:16:15.

about what sort of impact your alcohol use is having on..

:16:16.:16:24.

Yeah. My body. Your body. My brain.

:16:25.:16:26.

Maybe that's why I'm going so crazy cos it's affected me.

:16:27.:16:30.

And we might be able to provide some support for you.

:16:31.:16:33.

Scott's behaviour is always high risk.

:16:34.:16:35.

Most of the people that he meets in these clubs and that,

:16:36.:16:38.

and so he could have anything, really.

:16:39.:16:42.

I mean, the characters he meets some of them

:16:43.:16:44.

Sometimes he tells me he doesn't know what he does now.

:16:45.:16:51.

He says he wakes up and runs out of their house.

:16:52.:16:54.

because I always end up too drunk and stuff, and she didn't want me

:16:55.:17:02.

to do something unprotected or end up somewhere not safe.

:17:03.:17:08.

and I've had blood taken from my arm,

:17:09.:17:13.

and I've got another appointment next week to find out the results.

:17:14.:17:17.

So... Was it all right? Yeah, it was all right.

:17:18.:17:19.

What's in your bag? Oh, it's lots of condoms. Ooh!

:17:20.:17:22.

Scott will be back at the clinic in a week to find out

:17:23.:17:31.

if his drunken sexploits have given him more than just a hangover.

:17:32.:17:40.

MUSIC: "Good Girl" by Robin Thicke

:17:41.:17:48.

Across town... That's yours.

:17:49.:17:50.

..brothers Robbie and Tom are catching up with their mate

:17:51.:17:53.

So, are you guys not worried at all about catching anything?

:17:54.:18:00.

It depends what it is. Chlamydia, like we said earlier, is a cold

:18:01.:18:03.

It's a cold for your penis, that s my theory on it. That's my theory

:18:04.:18:07.

Like, for guys, it's not a problem but for women it is.

:18:08.:18:09.

Yeah. Yeah. They can't have kids and stuff like that.

:18:10.:18:11.

Have you two ever shared a girl Not at the same time, no.

:18:12.:18:23.

that's what it is. Need a little bit of fresh meat

:18:24.:18:25.

You can't blame the poor girls. . A little bit of younger energy

:18:26.:18:28.

Have they ever compared you? After you've shared...

:18:29.:18:31.

We've never had feedback at the same time, but I'd win.

:18:32.:18:34.

I don't think I have. I'd win. I taught him everything he knows.

:18:35.:18:38.

Say you both came back and you both had gonorrhoea or chlamydia,

:18:39.:18:41.

would you phone up the last person you fucked? Absolutely.

:18:42.:18:44.

I would love to cos she phoned me up, telling me she was late.

:18:45.:18:48.

What would you say? Say I was on the phone to you, right now

:18:49.:18:53.

OK. Let's play this one up. Alice? You be Alice. Right, OK.

:18:54.:18:57.

You all right, Alice? Yeah, all good.

:18:58.:19:01.

I've caught something and you're the last person I've slept with

:19:02.:19:06.

so, you know, this is something I thought I should relay on to you.

:19:07.:19:09.

BUZZER LAUGHTER

:19:10.:19:12.

Bitch! She's put the phone down Well, that's the end of it.

:19:13.:19:14.

That's how you put it? That is definitely how I would put it.

:19:15.:19:18.

But with their results due soon will Tom

:19:19.:19:21.

and Robbie have to make the call for real?

:19:22.:19:35.

Um, a guy once told me that if you eat a lot of celery,

:19:36.:19:38.

that makes the cum fire a lot further.

:19:39.:19:41.

I think I know that one, actually. I do know that one.

:19:42.:19:45.

Yes, sometimes these people will stick in your mind if they had

:19:46.:19:48.

said something particularly silly, you will remember them.

:19:49.:19:52.

The next patient to make a big impression is 30-year-old Karl

:19:53.:19:56.

A recent sexual encounter has given him cause for concern.

:19:57.:20:00.

You've not actually been told by anybody or

:20:01.:20:19.

And have you ever had a sexually transmitted infection in the past?

:20:20.:20:23.

Chlamydia. Do you have any general health problems? No.

:20:24.:20:27.

I'm ex-army, so I'm fit and well. Great.

:20:28.:20:29.

Right, so we're just going to ask a few more personal questions.

:20:30.:20:34.

When did you last have any kind of sex with anybody?

:20:35.:20:36.

Would have been about six weeks ago. Six weeks.

:20:37.:20:39.

OK. And is that the person that you were talking about? Yes. OK

:20:40.:20:44.

And did you use a condom with her? Yes, I did, but it did split.

:20:45.:20:47.

OK. Before that, when did you last have sex with somebody different?

:20:48.:20:51.

That's it. I wouldn't say I'm not very sexually active

:20:52.:20:53.

but I just don't get it as regularly as I would like to. OK.

:20:54.:20:57.

Fair enough. So, because you have not got any symptoms,

:20:58.:21:01.

and gonorrhoea and do your blood test for HIV and syphilis

:21:02.:21:08.

Is that OK? Yes, that's fine. Brilliant. OK.

:21:09.:21:10.

Pop it in there and take the whole thing back to the waiting room

:21:11.:21:13.

The nurse will do your blood tests. OK? OK, then. Thank you very much.

:21:14.:21:17.

Take care and do you want some condoms? Yes, please. Brilliant

:21:18.:21:20.

We tend to hear that kind of comment quite a lot,

:21:21.:21:35.

men say they have a problem with condoms

:21:36.:21:37.

because their penis is too large. But actually,

:21:38.:21:40.

there are lots of different brands of condom, lots of different

:21:41.:21:44.

sizes of condom and it may be that they are not using lubrication.

:21:45.:21:50.

Karl? I'm Michelle. I'm one of the sisters. In here

:21:51.:21:53.

Are you quite good at coming in quite regularly? Yes.

:21:54.:21:57.

I come in between four to six months. That's brilliant

:21:58.:22:02.

In normal sexual activity. Depending on if you've been quite busy.

:22:03.:22:07.

Yeah. They just don't make them big enough.

:22:08.:22:13.

They're too tight and just not long enough.

:22:14.:22:16.

That's how accidents happen because they are not big enough. OK.

:22:17.:22:20.

So when you say about accidents what do you mean?

:22:21.:22:23.

It isn't the lube that's the problem. Sometimes it can be, though.

:22:24.:22:35.

That's something you might think about trying. OK.

:22:36.:22:39.

So it's a sharp scratch. Are you all right? Yes.

:22:40.:22:43.

You don't look like you fully believe me.

:22:44.:22:48.

I could say something but I don t want to. Say whatever you want

:22:49.:22:52.

I don't normally need lube because I can get them all...

:22:53.:22:59.

Excited? Yes, OK. I wasn't doubting that for a minute.

:23:00.:23:04.

Do you mind if I pop your plaster on? No.

:23:05.:23:06.

Should be all right. You don't want one? No. OK.

:23:07.:23:11.

but health advisor Michelle still insists on the lube.

:23:12.:23:17.

Cocky patients, it might not be so much that they are cocky

:23:18.:23:21.

They might just be overconfident and they might feel that they

:23:22.:23:25.

have got to big themselves up a little bit.

:23:26.:23:28.

They've got to make out they're quite well endowed

:23:29.:23:33.

but I think that's with most men, isn't it?

:23:34.:23:36.

In reality, a condom is going to fit everyone.

:23:37.:23:38.

Often if there is a problem, it is down to lubrication.

:23:39.:23:42.

You're in luck. I've got a bit of a selection.

:23:43.:23:46.

I'm going to give you that one Pina colada flavour.

:23:47.:23:49.

I don't think the flavour really bothers me much.

:23:50.:23:52.

OK. I might be thinking of a friend.

:23:53.:23:54.

'You've just got to play along with it, really.

:23:55.:23:57.

Is that all right? Yes, that's fine, love.

:23:58.:24:03.

I quite like patients like that Thanks a lot.

:24:04.:24:05.

and they do tend to stick in your mind a bit more then.

:24:06.:24:13.

Just my personality, really. I get on with everyone.

:24:14.:24:16.

It's just a bit of banter, isn't it? They just need to make them bigger.

:24:17.:24:20.

With his pockets full of goodies, Karl heads home with a smile.

:24:21.:24:25.

But will he still be smiling when he gets his results?

:24:26.:24:41.

since party-loving Scott had his first STI test. Who is that?

:24:42.:24:49.

I do not have a clue. Where even are you?

:24:50.:24:52.

He often can't remember the drunken sex he's had with strangers.

:24:53.:24:59.

And his behaviour is giving his friends

:25:00.:25:02.

and family cause for concern. So how was the clinic? I've had a test done.

:25:03.:25:08.

Was it awkward? You know it was awkward. They took my blood.

:25:09.:25:13.

Oh, God. They'll find out next Wednesday the results.

:25:14.:25:18.

It's your fault for bringing all these bloody trannies round.

:25:19.:25:23.

Not all trannies. You don't really know what they are, to be honest.

:25:24.:25:29.

Just sort of like... who are they? You know.

:25:30.:25:36.

And then Mum and Dad get worried about you, you know.

:25:37.:25:40.

Just, you know, slow down. Not be as crazy, you know, like. .

:25:41.:25:48.

you're still young but, I mean just not going as crazy, you know?

:25:49.:25:53.

is it too late for Scott to take on his sister's advice?

:25:54.:26:12.

The boyfriend, is he... He's not my boyfriend!

:26:13.:26:16.

Jesus Christ, woman. Now you're starting to sound like a tart.

:26:17.:26:21.

25-year-old Chloe has come to visit her mum,

:26:22.:26:26.

who doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to talking about sex.

:26:27.:26:31.

You're much better off on your own than with some knob. Joking.

:26:32.:26:35.

A recent condom split has put Chloe in danger of infection.

:26:36.:26:42.

Well, I'd be seriously disappointed that you'd been

:26:43.:26:46.

But I have been using protection and I just had an accident,

:26:47.:26:53.

so if I've caught something from that...

:26:54.:26:56.

We will have to deal with it. Yes. You are in the right place.

:26:57.:27:00.

You will get results back and we all hope that you are not going to

:27:01.:27:07.

have anything nasty but they are out there.

:27:08.:27:11.

It's no longer a death sentence Even AIDS nowadays...

:27:12.:27:14.

God, I don't have AIDS. You have had an AIDS test!

:27:15.:27:21.

What happens if it comes back positive for AIDS?

:27:22.:27:29.

How would you feel about the person that gave me the hypothetical AIDS?

:27:30.:27:34.

One in 500 people in Leeds have the HIV virus.

:27:35.:27:44.

And one of the biggest groups affected is men who sleep with men.

:27:45.:27:50.

This is quite an interesting picture with all these Action Men

:27:51.:27:53.

but we are seeing more gay young men with HIV.

:27:54.:28:03.

You quite often find that people don't use condoms for oral sex

:28:04.:28:06.

so there's things that they can do to try to reduce risk like not

:28:07.:28:10.

getting them ejaculate in your mouth, not swallowing cum.

:28:11.:28:14.

We say "oral sex", they say "sucking", you know.

:28:15.:28:19.

It depends on the individual, doesn't it?

:28:20.:28:21.

when was the last time you were fucked, you know, would we?

:28:22.:28:28.

Worries about HIV have brought 22-year-old Iacopo to the clinic.

:28:29.:28:33.

Although the Italian is in a long-term relationship

:28:34.:28:37.

Take a seat, you can put your bag down there

:28:38.:28:50.

About infecting my boyfriend as well.

:28:51.:29:00.

Have you ever had one before? No, never. It's my first one.

:29:01.:29:07.

Is that your main concern today Yeah. OK.

:29:08.:29:10.

And is that somebody you're in a relationship with?

:29:11.:29:20.

Do you use condoms with him? Yeah. OK.

:29:21.:29:24.

And have you had sex with anybody else in the last three months? Yeah.

:29:25.:29:31.

Yeah - when was that? A month ago. A month ago.

:29:32.:29:35.

So, obviously, if you're having more than one partner,

:29:36.:29:38.

So we would try and say use condoms consistently,

:29:39.:29:44.

even with your regular partner as well.

:29:45.:29:47.

I'm going to test you for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B. OK?

:29:48.:29:50.

Then we'll discuss with you about a health advisor,

:29:51.:29:53.

trying to get the results back as soon as possible. OK.

:29:54.:29:58.

Do you feel a bit better for coming here? Yeah, but still scared.

:29:59.:30:05.

I think it's nerve-racking, if it's all new to you.

:30:06.:30:07.

I hate blood tests. Do you? Yeah. Aw, right. It's very quick.

:30:08.:30:11.

I mean, we kind of have to ask everybody who comes through the door,

:30:12.:30:14.

um...you know...how would you feel about a positive result?

:30:15.:30:18.

I'm not suggesting it means you'll come back HIV-positive,

:30:19.:30:22.

but do you have anybody you can talk to?

:30:23.:30:25.

Do you have a good relationship with your partner? Yeah.

:30:26.:30:28.

He's the main reason I think I'm here.

:30:29.:30:30.

Right. The thing I'm scared about most

:30:31.:30:32.

is if it affects him, actually Yeah.

:30:33.:30:36.

the thing I'm scared of most is infecting my boyfriend as well

:30:37.:30:59.

Made you an appointment for half past ten on Tuesday, OK?

:31:00.:31:02.

Try not to worry. I know it's easy for me to say that, but...

:31:03.:31:07.

All right? I will. All right, take care.

:31:08.:31:09.

You'll feel better for coming in and having a screening.

:31:10.:31:11.

Iacopo not only has to face his results in one week's time. .

:31:12.:31:15.

..but he also has to share the news with his long-tem boyfriend.

:31:16.:31:19.

If you get something like HIV, you get it for life, so it's..

:31:20.:31:25.

He's a young gay man who has had a few partners

:31:26.:31:33.

He did have condom split so, you know,

:31:34.:31:40.

At home, Karl's waiting for news from the clinic -

:31:41.:31:53.

and he's got good reason to be worried.

:31:54.:31:56.

I'm feeling a bit nervous, due to the last time I had a mishap

:31:57.:32:00.

that opened my eyes in a very big way.

:32:01.:32:11.

Had a one-night fling a few months ago and,

:32:12.:32:19.

it's like...I'd rather be safe than sorry.

:32:20.:32:24.

I just want to get these rumours proved wrong, that I am clean.

:32:25.:32:34.

I keep thinking it's a text, and it ain't.

:32:35.:32:41.

Hi, it's Alex, one of the staff nurses from Sexual Health.

:32:42.:32:50.

So I've got some results for you, Karl.

:32:51.:32:57.

You're all clear, so that's fantastic.

:32:58.:33:06.

Congratulations. Thank you. OK, mate, take care.

:33:07.:33:09.

The sense of relief must sometimes be...fantastic, really.

:33:10.:33:23.

He can enjoy his weekend now, can't he?

:33:24.:33:33.

Certainly. Through the door, up the stairs.

:33:34.:33:38.

When I first started working, it was...

:33:39.:33:46.

constantly, which got on people's nerves.

:33:47.:33:48.

So I had got it down to maybe just the two now.

:33:49.:33:54.

In Exeter, it's results day for Scott.

:33:55.:33:57.

The week-long wait has given him the chance to reflect

:33:58.:34:00.

Having something that can kill me slowly in time,

:34:01.:34:09.

I think that would be the worst thing.

:34:10.:34:13.

That would be...the worst nightmare of my whole life.

:34:14.:34:25.

What the hell are you meant to do then?

:34:26.:34:30.

So, we did the chlamydia and gonorrhoea test on urine.

:34:31.:34:48.

And that's all negative, all clear, so that's brilliant. Brilliant

:34:49.:34:51.

And then hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV and syphilis infections

:34:52.:34:58.

were screened negative, so that's all good news.

:34:59.:35:02.

Brilliant news - I'm all clear That's good.

:35:03.:35:09.

And reduce the number of partner changes,

:35:10.:35:17.

that's the way to go as well. Yeah.

:35:18.:35:19.

And sometimes we worry when alcohol gets in the way.

:35:20.:35:23.

It's normally alcohol... Mm. ..that blurs who it is, and ..

:35:24.:35:27.

And we do hear stories where people are lured to a party,

:35:28.:35:32.

go to the house, there's very few people there

:35:33.:35:34.

and you may be very vulnerable and rape can then occur.

:35:35.:35:42.

Do you need some condoms, while you're here?

:35:43.:35:45.

Got enough to keep you going. Yeah. That's OK.

:35:46.:35:49.

Take care of yourself, sweetheart. Thank you. Bye. Bye, then.

:35:50.:35:55.

Yeah, I'd feel good coming back and getting tested again,

:35:56.:36:02.

cos you know they're not going to judge you for anything.

:36:03.:36:08.

Scott's had a lucky escape, but will the clinic's advice

:36:09.:36:12.

to cut down on his drinking fall on deaf ears?

:36:13.:36:18.

So, guys, I went to the clinic got myself tested out, at last

:36:19.:36:23.

and, basically, I found out that I'm all clear of everything.

:36:24.:36:28.

So I really think we should hold a toast

:36:29.:36:31.

Tonight, Scott and his mates are going out on the town.

:36:32.:36:40.

Once inside, it's straight to the bar.

:36:41.:37:05.

But Scott's friends are hoping he won't be mixing his drinks

:37:06.:37:10.

Sometimes, he drinks the same amount as us

:37:11.:37:12.

but I don't think he can handle it as well.

:37:13.:37:16.

I don't think he feels confident enough to go out

:37:17.:37:18.

He had that litre of vodka, back at his, and I was like,

:37:19.:37:28.

I think if he keeps drinking like he is,

:37:29.:37:48.

Hopefully, he doesn't meet anyone, because I said to him,

:37:49.:37:52.

"Don't sleep with anyone tonight", and he was like...

:37:53.:37:55.

We get really worried cos he goes off doing God knows what

:37:56.:38:05.

and, it kind of all seems like a joke when he tells you about it

:38:06.:38:09.

Until he wakes up with chlamydia or HIV or something really awful..

:38:10.:38:17.

Carl is celebrating his STI-freedom with his mate Bully

:38:18.:38:41.

Have you ever, ever been to a clinic in your life, you?

:38:42.:38:47.

I go at least every time I get with a new partner.

:38:48.:38:51.

Every time. So then I know I'm not fucking passing nowt on.

:38:52.:38:55.

I can't be responsible for this high of sexually-transmitted diseases

:38:56.:38:58.

Mr Responsible! I am responsible unlike you.

:38:59.:39:05.

Fuck that sticking fucking shit up my jap, man.

:39:06.:39:08.

They don't do nowt, mate, just take blood samples

:39:09.:39:11.

I have to sleep and shit. At least I have the balls to go and get cleaned

:39:12.:39:29.

This is why society nowadays is falling apart, bruv.

:39:30.:39:41.

Cos of all these STDs, cos no-one sees the point of going to get

:39:42.:39:44.

checked out. But I don't have one-night stands.

:39:45.:39:47.

No, but you've had women before and you still haven't been

:39:48.:39:50.

That was a kind of a shock that he hadn't even thought about it

:39:51.:40:02.

How would you know you both haven't got clap?

:40:03.:40:11.

That's why I said - "Do you fancy going to get checked?"

:40:12.:40:16.

At least it's your peace of mind knowing - "That's it, I'm clean "

:40:17.:40:23.

I'll get him down there. If I have to, I'll drag him down there.

:40:24.:40:32.

300 miles away in Exeter, it's results day for brothers

:40:33.:40:46.

You've got herpes. I don't have herpes.

:40:47.:40:51.

You got AIDS. Oof. Oof, that was a dark one.

:40:52.:40:54.

Actually, no. From that girl from the festival.

:40:55.:41:04.

No, not more like herpes. She was above somebody that would

:41:05.:41:10.

She'd have chlamydia, maybe. She could.

:41:11.:41:15.

HE LAUGHS Anything. Get the menu out.

:41:16.:41:19.

To pass the time, they mull over the latest sexual trends.

:41:20.:41:23.

OK, another one I've heard of is called iglooing, apparently.

:41:24.:41:28.

That's a new one. Bear with me here...

:41:29.:41:30.

And puts it in the freezer until it gets solid and then

:41:31.:41:36.

uses it as... A dildo, don't say...

:41:37.:41:38.

Pretty much a dildo. Don't say dildo. Yeah.

:41:39.:41:40.

Well, it's a makeshift dildo. That's horrible.

:41:41.:41:42.

Yeah. Have you ever heard... Why not just get a cucumber? Go to Tesco.

:41:43.:41:46.

I've never heard of that one before. Put a condom round a cucumber.

:41:47.:41:49.

Just get a dildo. Why would you shit in a condom

:41:50.:41:51.

That one as well but why would you shit in a condom?

:41:52.:41:55.

I hope you don't have anything after all this time waiting.

:41:56.:41:59.

All clear. I heard all clear. All right, perfect.

:42:00.:42:15.

Well, I've got my brother here as well.

:42:16.:42:22.

Negative, good stuff. No HIV, no syphilis. Thank you. All done.

:42:23.:42:30.

Surprising. It's not surprising, I knew.

:42:31.:42:32.

We got lucky, didn't we? Got lucky, and got lucky.

:42:33.:42:40.

Sex can still be fun with a plastic bag on.

:42:41.:42:50.

Up in Leeds, Carl is back at the clinic.

:42:51.:42:53.

he convinced his mate Bully to get tested too.

:42:54.:42:59.

But it looks like Bully's not feeling so bullish.

:43:00.:43:04.

I think a lot of people are really frightened about coming in,

:43:05.:43:07.

especially guys, they've got this idea that we're going to put

:43:08.:43:10.

this umbrella down their penis which we've never done.

:43:11.:43:12.

I'm outside flipping clinic, where are you?

:43:13.:43:16.

that reassurance that we're not that scary.

:43:17.:43:20.

All right, Bully. At long last I thought you weren't going to come.

:43:21.:43:37.

Bully's been in a relationship for four years.

:43:38.:43:40.

Have you spoke to misses about coming here?

:43:41.:43:43.

Yeah, I've told her, yeah. What she say?

:43:44.:43:46.

She thinks I'm up to something Guilty conscience.

:43:47.:43:50.

While Bully's girlfriend had a test before they got together

:43:51.:43:54.

Bully didn't see the need. Hi-ya.

:43:55.:43:56.

Lads, a lot of them think it's down to the girl.

:43:57.:43:59.

If they're all right, then I'll be aright.

:44:00.:44:02.

Sometimes, the girl will instigate and get them checked out

:44:03.:44:08.

because men sometimes need a push to get checked out.

:44:09.:44:12.

I thought it was for gay people and people that slept about.

:44:13.:44:16.

I thought that's what clinic were for.

:44:17.:44:19.

Get it filled in. Do you have a long term disability? Yes, him. Thanks.

:44:20.:44:27.

Have you seen the chick behind the counter? Which girl?

:44:28.:44:31.

The redhead, the one that was in there.

:44:32.:44:35.

You pervert. You're like a puppy. Ooh. Shut up.

:44:36.:44:44.

Yes. Hi there, do you want to come through, I'm Rachel. Hiya.

:44:45.:44:56.

I'll take your notes, nice to meet you,

:44:57.:45:03.

I'll make sure your details are correct, OK? Yep.

:45:04.:45:07.

So you last had sex a week ago is that with someone regular?

:45:08.:45:10.

Yes, that's with my partner. OK, male or female? Female.

:45:11.:45:13.

What we would say, the way to work it is,

:45:14.:45:15.

when you first get with someone use condoms,

:45:16.:45:18.

and when you feel like that person's for you, we would say

:45:19.:45:21.

both get checked out and then have unprotected sex,

:45:22.:45:25.

cos if you found out you are chlamydia positive, the first

:45:26.:45:28.

question the girl's going to ask is "How long have I had this

:45:29.:45:31.

And these infections can cause problems with fertility,

:45:32.:45:36.

good to get checked out at the beginning of the relationship, OK.

:45:37.:45:47.

So, what I'm going to do is get you to pass urine for me,

:45:48.:45:51.

I'm going take your blood for HIV and syphilis, OK.

:45:52.:45:58.

Carl embarks on a more risky assignment.

:45:59.:46:15.

I don't think it's the place to pick up anyone, do you?

:46:16.:46:29.

Good morning, Leeds Centre For Sexual Health

:46:30.:46:32.

And just put it on the little hatch, which is in the toilet, OK.

:46:33.:46:36.

From our point of view, he does need checking for chlamydia.

:46:37.:46:42.

If your partner has a negative set of results, you can't take

:46:43.:46:45.

that as read that means your results are negative

:46:46.:46:48.

We have had partners where one is positive and one is negative,

:46:49.:46:51.

So we would just say, "When you first get with someone,

:46:52.:46:56.

"that's the time to get checked out."

:46:57.:46:59.

So you get your results in about three weeks, bruv. Three weeks? Yup.

:47:00.:47:04.

That were painless though, wasn't it? It were all right.

:47:05.:47:15.

Chloe's expecting her results and the wait is bringing back memories

:47:16.:47:21.

I just assumed everything would be fine,

:47:22.:47:28.

and then it wasn't and it just completely spiralled me out

:47:29.:47:31.

and then everything was fine, got the all clear.

:47:32.:47:35.

But if they hadn't caught it and I hadn't gone for my smear,

:47:36.:47:38.

the likelihood is it can progress into something more horrible.

:47:39.:47:44.

You're just kind of playing with your life

:47:45.:47:50.

They said everything is clear. Everything is absolutely fine.

Five days ago, Iacopo had an HIV test

:48:19.:48:35.

after an unprotected one-night stand.

:48:36.:48:38.

He's mentally preparing for the results with his boyfriend, Aurelio.

:48:39.:48:45.

Thinking about what if it's positive? I'm sure it's not.

:48:46.:48:48.

If it's positive, I'm not going to just run away.

:48:49.:49:03.

If I get something, you might get it as well.

:49:04.:49:06.

If you get something, then I'll take it.

:49:07.:49:10.

Been thinking all the time about the results.

:49:11.:49:13.

OK, so you had the blood test for HIV test.

:49:14.:50:03.

Yeah. All right.

:50:04.:50:08.

I'm very relaxed now and I think I'm going to sleep tonight.

:50:09.:50:23.

When I got the results from the HIV test, from the blood test,

:50:24.:50:37.

the whole situation really changed me.

:50:38.:50:41.

Maybe I should just stop hanging around with other guys. .

:50:42.:50:47.

..and change the way we have the relationship.

:50:48.:50:50.

a sexual relationship with anyone else.

:50:51.:50:58.

It's been over a week since Bully was dragged to the clinic

:51:04.:51:07.

by his mate Karl and it's time for the results.

:51:08.:51:10.

Get killed by my girlfriend if I've got summat.

:51:11.:51:13.

She knows she's clean so if I've got something,

:51:14.:51:15.

He's got to go find someone else to pick on now. All good.

:51:16.:52:05.

You did have one yesterday. You mustn't expect one every day.

:52:06.:52:08.

That's a really big one! It's quite thick as well.

:52:09.:52:15.

Alan has worked at the clinic for more than ten years

:52:16.:52:23.

but there is a community that are into other forms of sexual activity.

:52:24.:52:38.

Following his recent night out Scott's coming to talk to Alan

:52:39.:52:42.

to try to understand his wild behaviour.

:52:43.:52:44.

I don't remember even getting in the venue, really.

:52:45.:52:47.

I don't really want to always go crazy like that.

:52:48.:52:53.

Maybe talking to someone could open up something to help me.

:52:54.:53:00.

I don't really meet anyone unless I'm drunk

:53:01.:53:09.

Because I don't really want to talk to anyone sober.

:53:10.:53:17.

With meeting people when you're in that hazy drunken state...

:53:18.:53:23.

They could go back to your place or you go back to their place.

:53:24.:53:34.

What's it like in the morning when you wake up?

:53:35.:53:38.

Are they...? Do you get out of there as quick as possible?

:53:39.:53:47.

My question would be, are you using alcohol to give you the guts

:53:48.:53:52.

to go up to strangers and talk to them?

:53:53.:53:56.

I guess the guts to go out and meet people.

:53:57.:53:57.

What I'm picking up is that there is an issue about how shy are you?

:53:58.:54:09.

The first person you have to be comfortable with is yourself.

:54:10.:54:13.

If you're not comfortable with who you are,

:54:14.:54:16.

how can you be comfortable with other people?

:54:17.:54:23.

I need to just sort of get the confidence sober.

:54:24.:54:31.

You look after yourself and I will see you on the 13th. OK.

:54:32.:54:36.

I think the whole process will just motivate me

:54:37.:54:45.

to have more courage to speak to people

:54:46.:54:49.

and I am going to learn from it all and engage with the world!

:54:50.:55:00.

It's nearing the end of a long week battling STIs

:55:01.:55:05.

but boredom is never part of the job.

:55:06.:55:08.

I like gonorrhoea because it's usually quite juicy and symptomatic.

:55:09.:55:18.

Nice to see under the microscope. Actually make that diagnosis.

:55:19.:55:24.

Come in with toilet paper wrapped around them.

:55:25.:55:32.

..comes in after popping his cherry...

:55:33.:56:03.

When you had sex, was it protected using a condom

:56:04.:56:11.

I've never used protection. I'm shitting myself now.

:56:12.:56:17.

..and Bones awaits his HIV test results.
