Who is at risk of contracting LGV ?
The risk of contracting LGV is greatest when an individual has unprotected sexual relations (without a condom), with or without vaginal, anal or oral penetration by the penis with : • A new sexual partner (male or female), even an occasional partner, if they have never undergone an STI screen to rule out the possibility of a sexually transmitted illness including LGV; • A partner who has multiple sexual partners (without you being necessarily aware of this fact); • More than one sexual partner; • A one night stand or anonymous sexual partner; • A sexual partner who works in the sex-trade (escort, prostitute, etc.); • A partner from a tropical or sub-tropical country.
