Taking Care of Your Sexual Health

Looking after your sexual health is an important part of overall wellbeing, whether you're in a long-term relationship, starting something new, or just wanting to stay informed.

Sexual health goes beyond the absence of disease. It includes feeling confident, safe, and comfortable in your body and in your relationships. Regular check-ups, safe practices, and open conversations with a healthcare provider can help support your health at every stage of life.

Why Regular Sexual Health Check-Ups Matter

Some health concerns related to sexual and reproductive health may not show obvious signs. Because of this, many people may not realise when something needs attention. That's why it,s a good idea to schedule a routine sexual health check-up with a qualified practitioner, especially if you've had a new partner or haven't been tested in a while.

Health professionals can guide you through a confidential discussion, recommend appropriate testing, and provide helpful resources, all in a safe and non-judgemental environment.

Safe Practices for Sexual Wellbeing

While no method offers complete protection, taking a proactive approach to your sexual wellbeing may include:

• Using barrier protection during sexual activity
• Communicating openly with partners
• Staying informed about your options for regular screening
• Seeking personalised advice from a qualified healthcare provider

These steps can help reduce risk and promote healthy, respectful relationships.
