YOUNG people in Notts are being urged to protect themselves from chlamydia ahead of Valentine's Day tomorrow.
About one in 10 young people in the county are thought to have the sexually transmitted infection (STI), which can leave women infertile.
NHS Notts County is now leading a new Month Of Love campaign to encourage people aged 16 to 24 to get tested.
Bosses hope anyone worried about chlamydia gets in touch during February to ask for a free test.

She said: "We want parents and young adults to have frank conversations around sexual health, relationships, contraceptive choices and protection against STIs.
"We want all 16-24-year-olds in Notts to say yes to a test during the month of February."
One woman, who did not want to be named, took the test at a bar while on a night out in Mansfield.
She was "shocked" to be tested positive for chlamydia but was given free treatment and advice by a nearby pharmacy. She said: "I think it's a great idea to go out and screen people in places such as bars and clubs as they are out with friends and it's in a setting where young people feel comfortable.
"Taking the test was simple, really easy to do and very discreet.

"Getting the results was also easy. I received mine by text and found this really convenient."
The Post revealed last month that the Terrence Higgins Trust had been commissioned by city health bosses to test for chlamydia at the University of Nottingham.
Officers from the sexual health charity plan to visit student events, nightspots and sporting and social clubs to sign up people for testing.
A self-taken test for chlamydia can be ordered through the NHS Notts County screening team on 01623 673673 or online at me.org.
