Sexual Health Week 2010

Sexual Health Week 2010
13-19 September

Sexual Health Week runs across the week of September 13th-19th, 2010. Over this time, a series of community grant winners around the Greater Sydney region, Dubbo and Newcastle areas assist young people to increase awareness of their sexual health and promote healthy choices among hard to reach young people aged 25 and under. 

This year we are placing a focus on the importance of communication, consent and negotiation. The theme is: 

The sex you want, the tools you need!

In order to have ‘the sex you want’, with your partner/s, here are ‘the tools you need’ to make the right decisions about sex. Whether you are sexually active, thinking about having sex, or decide not to have sex, these fact sheets have the information to assist you in making good decisions and healthy choices.

Factsheets

• Make a choice about sex
• Understand consent
• Stay healthy
• Know about STIs
• Stay Safe
• Download all these Factsheets as one PDF

Resources

Take the challenge and see if you have all ‘the tools you need’.  Don't worry, this challenge isn't collecting any of the information you give us, and you can start and stop the challenge whenever you feel like it.

Games

Put your tools to the test and see how well you rate.

For young people:

SexFu Challenge - your link to sexual well being

For health workers:
