This study says you are far more likely to get an STI based off of the number of sexual partners you've had, which is obvious. Asking people to stop having unprotected sex with lots of people to avoid getting an STI isn't wrong.

This isn't the HSE saying there's something WRONG with having multiple sexual partners, but it's simple fact it increases your chance of getting an STI. Now the sexual health system is appalling, but people are making the HSE out to be slut-shaming which isn't the case.
Also the idea that 'individuals' aren't responsible for getting more STI's, the Government is, is insane. It's like blaming 'infrastructure' for obesity. Yes, the infrastructure could be better, but removing all blame from individuals is foolish.
