People of all ages and backgrounds have concerns and questions about sexual health. Why? Because sexual health is directly linked to people's overall health and happiness. There are many aspects of sexual health, including birth control, pregnancy options, sexually transmitted infection prevention and treatment, self-image, sexual orientation and health services.

As discussing sexual health has become less taboo, researchers and health professionals have begun to focus more on educating patients and preventing sexual problems before they begin. Sharing knowledge, building awareness and testing the effectiveness of existing interventions can help to generate positive health outcomes.
