Sexual Health

Advice and support on sexual health and contraception.

Contraception

 

Contraceptive methods protect against pregnancy.

If you use contraception correctly, you can have sex without worrying about getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant.

There are so many different types of contraception available that you should be able to find the right method. You may have to try several different things before you choose the one you like most.

Find out more about getting contraception at the NHS website below.

STIs

 

Many people with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) do not get symptoms, so it's worth getting tested even if you feel fine. If you think you have an STI, the earlier you're tested, the sooner treatment can be given if it's needed.

An STI can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and oral sex.

STIs can pass between men and women, and from women to women and men to men.
