SEXUAL HEALTH

Launched in 1998, Staying Alive is a multimedia global HIV and AIDS prevention campaign that challenges stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS as well as empowers young people to protect themselves from infection.

It might sometimes feel that everyone around you – your friends, colleagues, the whole world – is doing nothing but talking about and having sex. Some people boast about their sexual exploits and it might be the case that you feel that you need to lose your virginity as soon as possible to keep up with your friends.

It never does any harm to find out some facts about sex before you start and most importantly it’s important to know the facts so that you can protect both you and the person you are having sex with. So MTV UK and Terrence Higgins Trust are here to give you the information and advice that you might be looking for if you are either considering your first time or have any other questions about sex.
