Sexual health

people in shopping centreSexual health in Scotland must be improved - not just for young people, but for people of all ages.

There are many influences on sexual health. These include the choices people make and the communities that they live in.

Only when people know the facts can they take responsible and informed decisions to protect against the dangers of sexually transmitted infections.

It is also a topic that some people feel uncomfortable talking about: to their peers, partners and children.

The purpose of this site is to provide key information about the programme of action to influence and encourage the nation to develop a culture of self respect, respect for others and strong relationships.
