Sexual health and adults
Sex can be great but it can also carry risks, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancy. STIs are diseases passed on from one person to another through unprotected sex (sex without a condom) or sometimes through genital contact.
For an overview of the different STIs and advice on a range of issues to do with sex go to Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) - NHS
