In This Section
Sexual health is more than deciding on birth control, and protecting yourself from sexually transmitted diseases, its about making positive choices for both you and your boyfriend or girlfriend.
Sexual health and learning how to look after yourself is important.
Anyone who has sex can be at risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection (STI). As many as 70% of women and 50% of men who have an STI, don't show any symptoms and there are serious consequences if infections are left untreated.
On these pages you can find advice on body changes, sexual health issues such as contraception, how to avoid infection, and how to get tested and treated or find out more from the links to websites.
