Your sexual health is important....

​

Don't worry this isn't going to be a finger wagging, long worded bit of text.

I mean you have some common sense. You know to look after yourself, right?

 

That's what this SHOCT Kernow website is all about, it's providing you with bite-size bits of information, the stuff you really need to know. It cuts out all the finger wagging and all the jargon.

 

Plain straight forward info!

​

The better you feel about yourself the more inclined you will be to look after yourself. Anything can impact on our self-esteem and confidence, this means you may not look after yourself as well as you could which could end up impacting on your physical, mental and sexual health over time.

RISKY OR UNSAFE SEX RECENTLY?

​

• If you've had risky or unsafe sex then it's probably best to get yourself to your local sexual health clinic for a check up.

• If you don't know whether you've had risky or unsafe sex then again its probably an idea to go to your local sexual health clinic for a chat and a check up.

• If you don't know or are unsure of the HIV status of the person you had risky or unsafe sex with then you should go to a clinic or A&E, you may need to be put on medication for a month. (See the PEP page)

• If you have any lumps, bumps, discharge or pain in or around your groin or backside then a swift visit to your local sexual health clinic will help you find out what's going on.
