Sexual Health Services
Sexual health is about so much more than preventing unwanted consequences.
Sexuality requires a positive and respectful approach to sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.Talk freely about consent: what you want and don’t want to participate in sexually.Think about the chance of pregnancy and what this means for you.
Safer Sex Is for everyone! Now or in the future, most people become sexually active sometime during their life. Be comfortable talking about sex with a trusted person.
Condoms are free at every high school in your area, there’s no excuse. Use protection to lower your risk of getting or sharing STIs. Get tested for STIs if you are sexually active. Get treated if you have an STI, don’t mess around, protect yourself.
Giving consent is agreeing to participate in sexual activity with another person. Consent also means you can change your “yes” or “no” at any time during the fun, and it should be all fun!
It is a person’s right to make this decision and it is against the law to violate this right.
Cut your risk! Use protection every time.Grab some free condoms at your high school. Talk with your partner about being safer and smart.
Always have condoms on you and know how to put on a condom and/or dental dam! Yes I know a what?! Watch and learn.
The key is to find a birth control that works for you. It’s great if you can speak to your parent/guardian about this important decision (permission isn’t required), but if you can’t, your school NP, Nurse or Doctor at a local clinic will help you every step of the way.
NOTE: Unless you are told otherwise by a Doctor or Nurse Practitioner, a pap test is recommended at age 21 or 3 years after first sexual activity, whichever happens later (Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care January 2013).
