Sexual Wellbeing Week 2022 630x380

We are highlighting the importance of treating our sexual health as seriously as we would any other aspect of our health, including regular check-ups, testing for H.I.V. and sexually transmitted infections (S.T.Is), and raising awareness about issues related to healthy and respectful relationships. It is also a timely reminder that everyone has a right to good sexual health and easy access to information.
