Sexual Health Advice
Sexual health is about more than preventing pregnancy or infections. It can include consent, communication, contraception, STI prevention, testing, HIV prevention and general sexual wellbeing.

Consent
Consent should be freely given and can be withdrawn at any time.
CSent's consent tools are designed to support clearer communication and shared understanding.
Contraception
If pregnancy prevention is important to you, there are a range of contraception options.
Different methods suit different people.
See the CSent Contraception article and the official NHS contraception information for more detail.
STI prevention and testing
Using condoms can reduce the risk of many STIs.
Regular testing can also be an important part of sexual healthcare, particularly when circumstances or partners change.
HIV prevention
PrEP and PEP are options that can help prevent HIV in different circumstances.
See the CSent PrEP & PEP article for an introduction and use the NHS resources for detailed information.
Getting professional advice
If you are concerned about your sexual health, symptoms, a possible exposure, contraception or another sexual health issue, seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional or sexual health service.
