Sexual health
Sexual health is an important part of our overall health and wellbeing. It can also be affected by a wide range of factors such as age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, beliefs and lifestyles.

Sexual health can be improved through practicing safer sex, using services and support on offer, and keeping up-to-date on sexual risk reduction.
STI testing and treatment
SH:24 offer free, discreet and confidential sexual health test kits online.
If you do not want the kit delivered to your home address, you can order it to be delivered to one of the pharmacies shown on the map below. You can also return your kit via the pharmacy.
Many people with sexually transmitted infections do not get symptoms, so it's worth getting tested even if you feel fine.
Check your symptoms on the NHS website
