3 CRUCIAL SEX QUESTIONS FOR ANY NEW RELATIONSHIP

As lockdown eases, and you meet new partners and start new relationships, don’t forget these essential health questions.

What about contraception?

If you’ve not reached the menopause or have not been sterilised, you’re at risk of pregnancy. Your local sexual health or family planning clinic can help you choose the best contraceptive.

What about protection?

If you or your partner has slept with even one other person, you may have an infection even without any obvious signs. Barrier methods

– male and female condoms

– guard against infections.

What about check-ups?

If you’ve been with your partner a while, trust them and are monogamous, have a full sexual check-up. Then you’ll know whether you’ll both be safe without protection.
