Why is a Sexual Health Check Up important?

Sexual health is important to everyone. Some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) may have no symptoms; therefore regular sexual health screens are useful to prevent any long-term complications. Practising safer sex, i.e. using condoms correctly and consistently, can help prevent the spread of STIs. You will have a consultation to establish which STIs to test for and which tests to be taken.
