5-year survival for breast cancer is 98% if diagnosed at Stage 1 and 89.5% at Stage 2 (out of 4 stages). Early diagnosis through screening means treatment is less invasive and more effective.
Please take up your screening invitation; it makes a major difference to outcomes.

Many STIs do not show early symptoms, and chief among them is HIV, which can take months to show.
HIV testing is the only way to determine your HIV status. You canβt tell your status with symptoms at the early stages of infection.
