Bonnie Blue collaborates with sexual health organization

Australia’s largest online sexual health clinic Stigma Health is turning to sex workers and adult entertainers to help stop the spread of gonorrhea Schoolies. One of their recruits? Controversial OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue.

According to the National Communicable Diseases Surveillance Report from July to October 2024, Australia has suffered a surge in gonorrhea cases, putting the country ahead of the hit 33 percent higher than the five-year average.

Co-founder of Stigma Health James Sneddon thinks these numbers are likely to rise as we enter the silly season.

“STDs tend to rise because this time of year is synonymous with celebration and spontaneity. People are more likely to have casual sex, fueled by a mix of social freedom and lower inhibitions,” he tells PEDESTRIAN.TV.

“A lesser known aspect may be that although people are social, it can also feel like a lonely time of year and some people are looking for connection – sex can be that comfort. It could also just be because people think they have to go out of their way to go to a doctor to get tested.”

In an effort to get the message of safe sex across as more people prepare to get started, Stigma Health is taking a different approach by going directly to sex workers and adult entertainers – including Bonnie and Annie Knight – to emphasize how important (and sexy!) it is to prioritize sexual health.

“Sex workers and adult entertainers are incredible ambassadors for promoting testing services because they embody professionalism and responsibility in sexual health,” James continued.

“Annie, Bonnie, and Coco BaeFew of the OnlyFans creators we’ve worked with so far understand the importance of regular testing better than most, as it’s critical to their work and safety.

“In addition, they help break societal stigmas surrounding sex and testing. Normalizing conversations about sexual health is key to increasing testing rates.”

This is an initiative that the controversial sex worker Bonnie Blue has put her platform behind.

“I know this isn’t the most glamorous conversation, but with Schoolies on the horizon it’s the perfect time,” Bonnie said in an Instagram video.

“STD testing should always come before fun. It’s non-negotiable for me and it should be non-negotiable for you too.’

After all, STD testing is so incredibly important and if you are sexually active, you should get tested regularly and use protection to protect yourself and others.
