STI Story Sharing

STI Story Sharing

Thank you so much for volunteering to share your story! I hope by having more open conversations around the topic of STIs we can really break down the stigma and get back to concentrating on being our fabulous selves!

I know this topic can be very personal and sensitive so I would invite you to take a little bit of time to ensure that you are comfortable with sharing and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. From my experience it has been so empowering to share my story and I know it has really helped lots of people feel less alone!

Just a few points so that you are clear about the sharing process:

STI stories will remain anonymous unless you have stated otherwise
Please do not include any identifiable information about other individuals within your story
Stories should be less than 500 words
By taking part you agree that your story can be used on my @letstalkstis Facebook and Instagram account. I will contact you before your story is posted

Below I have included some questions and a space for you to write your STI story. When I post the story I would like to include age, gender and location. I think this will help people relate to the stories although if you would prefer not to have this information included just let me know.

Name:

Would you like to remain anonymous?

Age:

Gender:

Location:

Can age, gender and location be included?

Ethnicity:

What STI/STD do you have/have you had?

Are there any tips that you would like to share that have helped you with your STI diagnosis?

Your story: (I invite you to include how having an STI has made you feel but above all this is your story and you can write it how you wish)

Max 500 words (It will stop allowing you to input if you try to type over the limit. Thanks)

Thanks again for your bravery and openness in sharing your story and playing your part in

breaking STI stigma!

Love from Ireland,

Denise
