Sexual health

About sexual health

Sexual health is an important part of our overall health and wellbeing. It can also be affected by a wide range of factors, such as age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, beliefs and lifestyles.

Sexual health can be improved through practicing safer sex, using services and support on offer, and keeping up-to-date on sexual risk reduction.

Many people with sexually transmitted infections do not get symptoms, so it's worth getting tested even if you feel fine.
