OLDER people should be just as responsible as teenagers when it comes to safe sex, according to sexual health advisors at Great Western Hospital.
While sexually transmitted infections are most rife among 16 to 24-year-olds, middle-aged people are also being told to use protection when they have sex.
Dr Sophie Forsyth, GWH’s consultant in gyno-urinary medicine, said menopausal women should remember that while pregnancy may no longer be an issue, condoms were still essential.
Dr Forsyth added that while younger people who are aware of the risks may continue irresponsible behaviour, older people may be catching STIs because they were not as well informed.
