Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the rise. If you have had sex without a condom (including oral sex), you could be at risk of an STI.

Common STI symptoms include:

  • burning when you pee
  • discharge from your penis, vagina or rectum
  • abnormal vaginal bleeding

BUT  many people do not have any symptoms! Untreated sexually transmitted infections can lead to long term health complications including infertility. The only way to be sure you do not have a sexually transmitted infection is to get tested.

MEASLES UPDATE

Public Health is advising residents and visitors of multiple exposures to measles in the community.  Visit hpepublichealth.ca/measles-faqs to see where potential community exposures took place, and what to do if you were present.

South East Health Unit

As of Jan. 1, 2025 Hastings Prince Edward Public Health; Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington Public Health; and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit have merged to form the South East Health Unit.

Partners and members of the public should continue to engage with their local public health offices as usual until otherwise directed.

Efforts are underway to develop branding for the South East Health Unit, which will take several months. In the meantime, you will see logos and other advertising material with Hastings Prince Edward Public Health branding. You may also see some documents using the legal name South East Health Unit.
