Talking about sex and your sexual health is important. You can talk to friends, your partner, your doctor or anyone you feel comfortable talking to.

By talking about sex, sexual health and STIs, it can help to know what steps you can take to have a healthy sex life. And let’s face it, there’s lots to talk about when it comes to sex! Consent, relationships, condoms, contraception, vaccination, pre-exposure prophylaxis and treatment as prevention for HIV, are just some of the hot topics.
