Good sexual health is a great deal more than being free from STI’s. Sexual health encompasses having both a respectful and positive approach to both sexual relationships and sexuality. This includes having safe as well as pleasurable sexual experiences without fear, violence, coercion, or any discrimination.

During the early part of the Coronavirus pandemic, there was evidence to suggest that people did not source health services in the same way as they had done before the arrival of Covid.
