In my sexual health class, we talked about sexual orientation. We had two guest speakers, one was a lesbian that was engaged and a transgender from a man to female. The lesbian speaker talked to us about how her journey went when she came out to her family and friends that she was a lesbian. She said it was not easy, but over the years her family started to support her decision of being with the same sex. For the transgender male to female had a different story. He was the only child and only had

Relatively recent inclusion of sexual orientation measures in a few federal and state health surveillance surveys is enabling the production of population-based information about sexual minority health and its status relative to that of the heterosexual majority. Few studies have been adequately powered to investigate variability in health by sexual orientation, let alone by orientation and other key social characteristics (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status); yet research suggests

The public health campaign topic that we were assigned was on sexual health. Throughout this campaign we worked as a team in order to reach the aims and objectives we had set. The aim of our campaign was to raise awareness by educating students and the public on safer sex and sexually transmitted diseases. In order to do this the objective was to produce a stand that will be based in the university of Huddersfield student union and educate students and the public on sexual health by encouraging

research question, I conducted a ten-question sexual health survey. This was a convenient sample of 15 people, an email was sent out to respondents who ranged from in age from 18 to 80. There were 6 men and nine women. On average, about four people were surveyed from each age group. They were asked background questions on their sexual health education and sexual health knowledge.

Many educators feel anxious or hesitant in address the topics of sex, sexuality, and sexual health especially in developing country. They may feel confused about what to teach and when to teach it. Many countries are now starting to teach the younger generation about sexual health. Although, North America and Europe have sexual education in their school; many developing countries lack sexual education which leads to high rate of teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV.

Sexuality in the older population are usually of humor however, there is a growing realization that sexual activity is not restricted to young people, and that education in sexual health is concern in the older population. There are a number of factors that put the older person at greater risk of sexually transmitted illness’s than the younger population. Sexual health and relationships

growing, there is a profound need to learn more about the women that are being affected. That being said, it is important to learn more about sexual and reproductive health in low-income women. In the District of Columbia, many women are living below the poverty life and are thus unable to get the help that they need in regards to their sexual and reproductive health. As researchers, there is a need to investigate why this is and what can be done

For many Planned Parenthood is their only option for sexual health care, offering a variety of services. Services that range from STD information to breast exams to prevent breast cancer. Planned Parenthood should continue to be federally funded to continue to support the millions of Americans who every year turn Planned Parenthood as their only option for sexual health care.
