Last night.
The launch of Union of Students in ireland (USI)I Sexual Health Awareness and Guidance (SHAG) campaign in the Odeon, Harcourt Street, Dublin last night.
The campaign is in collaboration with the HSE Crisis Pregnancy Programme, Durex, MSD Ireland and “a broad range of organisations working in the area of sexual health”.
The USI SHAG campaign writes
Irish research has found that 80% of young people use contraception every single time they have sex. That means 20% – or one in five – take risks from time to time and can end up contracting an STI or having an unplanned pregnancy. We also know that in 2013 three-quarters of chlamydia cases were reported in people aged less than 30 years, with the largest proportion aged 20-24 years (42.2%). is intended to raise awareness of sexual health among students in the hope that those who are sexually active will have enjoyable, consensual, safer sex and will get tested regularly for STIs.

Mulherrin Is Like, Flippin
you know this thread is going to throw up some interesting acronyms..
Riddled scamps! …I’m not jealous…
IM NOT OVER THE MOON FOR YA IM OVER JUPITR
Yargggh, and not a looker among them.
Hmmmmm. an image search for Birneybau2 threw up a pic of George Costanza… among other things :)
haha
SERENITY NOW
Which came first….
the SHAG acronym and finding the words to fit?
OR the words first followed by the giddy delight in discovering they spelled ‘SHAG’?
BItter that you could not longer use it for Spaghetti Hoop’s Anal Gland?
“That means 20% – or one in five” … two in ten, surely?
no, twenty is two tens.
I meant one person on their own isn’t really at risk of an STD or an unplanned pregnancy. Unless they haven’t washed their hands or something…
I think they meant 3 in 15
No it’s actually 20 in every 100.
Great campaign – fair play to students for doing this.
Zero sympathy for any gobshytte who ends up riddled with STDs cos they didn’t rubber up.
…an attitude that has driven a rift between you and your mother I’m sure.
Between me and YOUR mother, more like!!
So, you’re riddled with STDs then.
Okey dokey.
And so is Mani’s ma. That’s the important thing here.
Not my rotten mickey.
Don’t get me started on Mani’s Ma !
This is awkward. Your ma is a hermaphrodite, I fear my own has developed an immunity over the years.
