How can this be allowed?

  1. That’s not the HSE who made that poster, it’s just citing a source for the stats. I doubt the hospital made it and put it up, just a random loon who did it. 

  2. STD education is important, but ffs not from a load of religious toss pots

  3. If Bathroom walls are no longer a trusted source for news and information then we have truly lost.

  4. As far as it goes, it’s not a crazy notion. If you only have sex within committed relationships, you’ll probably never get an STI.

    But clearly the notion that there was no sex in Ireland before people started buying televisions is far from dead.

  5. I was there last week, and it wasn’t in the women’s bathrooms in the main entrance anyway. They just had one on how to get free birth control prescription if you are under 30 (35?). I’d say it to the receptionist if it’s still there on your next visit and they will probably take it down. Sound like someone snuck it in.

  6. Report it to the hospital, it’s not HSE so it shouldn’t be there

  7. Yeah. Let’s force our fundamentalist christian nonsense on people under the guise of public health measures. That will get people to respect the church again

  8. It’s not HSE as others have said. The logo placement wouldn’t be like that. Source: the posters all around me in my current office

  9. Sorry to bring the bad news, but the advice is correct.
    ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  10. It’s fake, I can confirm.

    Any document made by the HSE would generally have a header and footer containing HSE specific information.

    I’m a document controller in pharma and it doesn’t look like a HSE approved professional made this based on the formatting. It looks like they copy and pasted the HSE logo tbh.

    Documents lacking headed/footed info, are generally made by the layman rather than a professional.

    Here’s an example of a legit HSE poster with headed and footed information.

  11. There’s no infection without affection. Wear condoms and ladies if you do practice unprotected sex, remember to do your jumping jacks immediately after to purge your body of all the diseased ale your lower lips have been drinking and head off to confession once you’ve dried off

  12. “Abstinence outside of marriage” bit controversial, this one

  13. Posts like this put a smile on my face. Feels so good I live a sexless life, the last time I had sex was 4 years ago. It’s simply not worth it. Considering all these STDs and other issues, having sex must be discouraged and frowned upon on a much wider level.

  14. Its still the 1940s in Ireland isnt it?

    But at least the laundry gets done

  15. Abstinence and fidelity are good ways to prevent STIs, what’s the problem.

  16. I mean sure but in practice teenagers are going to do what teenagers do.

    Scary the amount of unprotected sex though.

  17. That’s inappropriate use of the HSE logo. You’re not actually allowed to do that, doubly so in a healthcare setting.

    Report this to the hospital. It’s incredibly dangerous to allow this. They have been known to use this tactic in America to redirect people seeking abortion by posing as legitimate healthcare providers despite being a religious organisation.

  18. Bit of common sense goes a long way OP. Clearly not HSE doc.

  19. I’m willing to bet that’s a copy & paste of the HSE bit.

  20. FYI for everyone, there is a free STI test kit offer by the HSE [Link](https://sh24.ie/). Easy, quick, discret. I dont agree with that sign, but it is good to get tested.

  21. It’s just a poster some nutter threw up.

    They went online, cherry picked what they could from HSEs less than amazing website, threw it into word and sent it to the printers.

    A secondary school student could have made this for their SPHE or Home Ec class to get credits.

    It’s nothing to panic over, give it a week and someone will draw a smily face in sharpy over it.
