Sexual Health
Good sexual health is part of our everyday life. Preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted conceptions is important for supporting good sexual health, but it is more than that. It is about promoting a positive approach to sexuality and sexual relationships towards fulfilling, safe and healthy experiences and helps to prevent unsafe behaviours that may lead to sexual exploitation and violence especially in vulnerable groups. Good sexual health includes the physical, emotional, mental and social well being in a population, so it is important that the organisations who plan and purchase services (commissioners) and those who provide them (providers), work together.
