Title:

Sexual Health (PWP)

Description:

Sexual and reproductive health is a fundamental public health issue and clearly recognised as such by the World Health Organization (2015). Sexual and reproductive health includes the provision of contraceptive methods such as implants, intrauterine devices and hormonal contraception and the diagnosis, treatment, management of sexually transmitted infections and HIV care. It also covers the public health role of partner notification and promotion of safer sex and includes support for individuals in relation to sexuality and healthy sexual relationships. The role of nurses, midwives and health practitioners across sexual and reproductive health is essential to the delivery of high quality care to support males, females, non-binary, trans and intersex people who may be vulnerable through unprotected or condom-less sex including sex workers, homeless people, as well as victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and grooming.
