What is sexual health?
Sexuality is a part of life. It contributes to love, affection, and a sense of well-being. However, there are many risks and disorders that can affect both men and women if they don't have the proper education and proper protection.

Whether you decide to have sex or not, it's important to know about safe sex and how it may affect your life. And if you've done anything that puts you at risk of infection, getting tested allows you to get any treatments you may need.
