We hope you find the database helpful and easy to use. It contains a wide range of information. The database is designed to make accessing information as straightforward as possible. Services provided both in the statutory and voluntary sectors are constantly changing and it is hoped that this electronic version will bring people up to date with some of those changes.

Sexual health
Many people with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) do not get symptoms, so it's worth getting tested even if you feel fine. If you think you have an STI, the earlier you're tested, the sooner treatment can be given if it's needed.
An STI can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and oral sex.
STIs can pass between men and women, and from women to women and men to men.
