Sexual Health

stylecurve

If you are concerned about any aspect of your sexual health, either of the Nurse Health Advisors will be happy to help you. Whether or not to have sex can be a difficult decision, but what feels right for you is important. We have a variety of information leaflets in the centre that you can call in to pick up – or drop in – or make an appointment .

Leaflets cover: contraception, the morning after pill, abortion, doubts about your sexuality and sexually transmitted infections.

Free Condoms

Call in to the centre to collect free condoms and disposal bags at any time. Saying that you want to use a condom can be difficult but your partner may be pleased you brought it up first!

Free Chlamydia Testing

The Health Centre at the University offers free Chlamydia Testing kits available on both campuses. The kits are very simple to use and the results can be sent back to you via a text message if you prefer.
