Sexual health services
Sexual Health is fundamental for the health and well-being of individuals, families, couples, and communities. It is an important part of our lives that is often ignored. By sexual health, we mean healthy, safe and enjoyable sexual health experiences, free from coercion, discrimination and violence. Sexual health is essentially learning about yourself and finding out about your sexual needs. This applies to everyone, whether you are Asexual, Gay, Bisexual, Lesbian, Heterosexual (Straight) or Transgender.
Sexual health services in Newham are free, confidential, and available for all regardless of age, gender, ethnic background or sexual orientation.
If you have a disability and you have special requirements, or if English is not your first language, you should make arrangements in advance.
