Contraception

Sexual health means enjoying the sexual activity you want without causing yourself or anyone else suffering or physical harm. It is also about using contraception and avoiding infections.

Making positive choices about contraception and sexual health is important, not just for your physical health but also for your general well being. If you're anxious about your sexual health, or unwell, this can have a knock-on effect on all aspects of your life - your work, your future and your relationships with your partners, family and friends.
