How can I catch it?
From having close bodily contact with another person’s genitals if they are infected.
How will I know I have it?
You will feel itchy around the penis, vagina or anus. You may see black powder in your pants or see pubic lice and eggs on your pubic hair.
How can I get rid of it?
A special shampoo from the chemist will get rid of this. Remember though, you may have another infection at the same time, so it is always important to have a check-up at your local sexual health clinic.
What will happen if I don’t get it treated?
The pubic lice will continue to spread as their eggs hatch. You must have treatment.
