Supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people
Sexual health is an important part of our overall well-being. There are many sources of good information on sexual health and people who you can talk to about this. If you call one of our helpline numbers our volunteers can give you information or point you to the right place to get information. Also on this page you'll find links to other sites which will be of help. Remember that your GP is an option for any health questions or concerns you might have including sexual health.
Information in relation to lesbian & bisexual women's sexual health in this country has been largely overlooked. However in recent times there have been attempts to address this gap by the publication of reports and information. The links in this section will point you in the direction of the most recent sexual health information for any women who has sex with women. These links will help you make informed choices about your sexual health. We acknowledge that same-sex attracted women have a wide range of different sexual experiences and desires.
