Don't be scratching your TT itch all summer!

Monday, 26 May 2025 13:25

A new government campaign is urging people not to pick up sexually-transmitted infections this TT.

Public Health and Manx Care are asking people to have safe sex - with the message 'You wouldn't ride without a helmet, don't take the risk. Wear a condom'.

Cabinet Office Minister David Ashford says he wants everyone to enjoy TT safely, adding alcohol and drugs could cloud good judgement during the festival.

The Manx Integrated Sexual Health Centre will be at Bushy's TT Village throughout the festival with information and advice.
