Syphilis can be cured with antibiotics, and the earlier it's detected, the simpler treatment can be.

If you're sexually active, especially if you have a new partner or any concerns, get free and confidential testing with us or via an at-home test kit – and always remember to use condoms.

Both are an important part of looking after yourself and others.

That’s the advice from sexual health nurse Carly Porter, who is working with colleagues in the SB Public Health Team to raise awareness.

“As far as I am concerned, the sooner you test, the sooner you are diagnosed and the sooner you are treated,” said Carly.

Swansea Bay continues to see higher levels of syphilis than many other areas of Wales.

Many people have no symptoms at all, meaning infections can go undetected and passed on unknowingly.

You can access testing for syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections by:

☑️ Booking an appointment with one of our sexual health clinics via a form on our website https://sbuhb.nhs.wales/community-primary-care/a-z-community-services/sexual-health-services/

☑️ Ordering an at-home testing kit here https://www.shwales.online/

Find an exercise buddy who shares your goals. Having a workout partner can provide motivation, support, and make staying active more enjoyable. Make exercise a social affair! Join a walking group or fitness class to meet new people, stay motivated, and enjoy the benefits of being active together.

19/08/2026

As part of our Active August campaign, we have produced four short videos for social media. Each features a different person explaining how they like to stay active. The hope is that others will share their ideas to help spark a Swansea Bay wide conversation encouraging more people to take up exercise.

Today we feature Parkruns.

If you need treatment for a minor injury, please go to our Minor Injury Unit at Neath Port Talbot Hospital, SA12 7BX.

The MIU treats adults and children over the age of one. It has emergency nurse practitioners, triage nurses and healthcare support workers who can treat patients for minor injuries. Open seven days a week between 8am and 9pm.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT go to the Minor Injury Unit with a suspected heart attack, cardiac arrest, chest pains, stroke etc, or with severe injuries. It has no doctors and CANNOT treat you. Your care will be delayed, so you could get much sicker or even die. You MUST go to the Emergency Department (A&E) at Morriston Hospital if you are seriously ill or severely injured.

You can also visit the MIU webpage for more information: https://sbuhb.nhs.wales/urgentout-of-hours/minor-injury-unit-neath-port-talbot/

If you are still unsure of what service to use, access the NHS111 Wales website https://111.wales.nhs.uk or call 111.
