Encouraging healthy lifestyles, creating a sense of belonging and providing a supportive environment.
Our sexuality includes our bodies, our biological sex, our gender (social, and legal status as girls and boys, women and men), our gender identities (how we feel about our gender), our sexual orientation (straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual)
STI's can be passed from one person to another during sexual contact if one person is infected. Most of the time STI's have no symptoms. This means you might not know you have an STI and you could pass it on to other people.
Some people do get symptoms. These include; redness, swelling, a discharge from the penis or vagina, blisters/ulcers/sores/warts/bumps, pains when urinating, itching or tingling and flu like symptoms. The best thing to do is if something doesn't feel right or you have had unprotected sex then you ought to get it checked out.
