Sexual health advice and support services

Look through our Sexual Health and Guidance (SHAG) resources to find out how to protect your sexual health and access contraception.

Making the decision to have sex comes with responsibility. You must look after yourself and your partner. It's important to protect both of you from sexually transmitted infections. Use a condom for vaginal, anal and oral sex, and dental dams for oral sex.
