A lot of people are talking about herpes right now but what actually is it?

Only 10-20% of people who carry the infection that causes herpes will have been diagnosed, even though the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 69% of women and 61% of men in Europe carry the type 1 virus.

Once you have the virus, it remains in your body. There’s no cure that clears it. But there are treatments to help to manage outbreaks and relieve the symptoms, so if you are concerned you may have herpes, it's important to seek medical advice.

Choosing contraception can feel like a lot - there's a lot of options - some hormonal, some non-hormonal. Some only protect against pregnancy whilst others protect against STIs and pregnancy. Some people experience loads of side effects and some people experience nothing at all. Some people take it to better their acne and periods whilst others experience more acne and heavier periods taking it. So what do you do!?

Contraception is your choice - advice, guidance and the experience of others is helpful, but ultimately, it is your decision how you manage contraception.

Our advice?
➡️ Do your research in reputable places - the Yuno website is a great place to start!
➡️ Speak to a medical professional - they will be able to help you understand the relationship between your body and health and any contraception you are considering
➡️ Take your time and be patient - sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error to find what is right for you.

Condoms can be confusing. There's a lot of different types of condom and they all have a slightly different purpose.

Some can be used for certain s*x acts and others can be used for multiple types of s*x, so how are you supposed to know what type of condom should be used when? Here's a brief guide to help you.

Remember, you can get condoms for free from various places - just head to the Yuno website to find out where - https://yunos*xualhealth.co.uk/contraception/condoms

Condoms are the only method of contraception that prevents most STIs and HIV as well as pregnancy. They are easy to get hold of and easy to use.

⭐ Under 25s can order free condoms online
⭐ You can pick up free condoms at a s*xual health clinic
⭐ People age 13-24 can collect free condoms from places including: youth centres (ask a youth worker), your school (speak to a school nurse or the safeguarding/pastoral team) or your college (ask student support and wellbeing staff)
⭐ University of Bristol and University West of England - ask the health centres, GP practices or student unions

A C-Card is no longer needed for collecting free condoms!

Language might not seem like a big deal, but it can really have an impact on how we interact with our s*xual health and wellbeing.

When we change the way we speak about things like STIs, we reduce stigma and we reduce shame which in turn leads to a reduction in STI rates. So next time you find yourself, a friend or a partner describing themselves as "clean", let them know than "negative" or "clear" is a better term. The more you do it, the easier it gets!

The Copper Coil (also known as the IUD) is a non-hormonal long acting reversible contraceptive which can be used to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years! It can also be fitted as emergency contraception if taking the morning after pill isn't an option.

You might have heard good things and bad things about people's experience with the copper coil and it might have swayed you one way or the other.

What's important to know is that contraception might effect your body differently to someone else, which means you might experience side effects or you might not.

To help you figure out whether the copper coil is right for you, here are some pros and cons to consider. It's also important to talk these things through with a medical professional to help you decide what's right for you.

You might have seen a lot online recently about people not wanting to use hormonal contraception anymore and be wondering "why?"

Well there's lots of reasons people are making these choices but it's important to do your own research and figure out what is right for you!

For many people hormonal contraception is exactly right for them and makes their lives a lot easier. But for other people it can be quite the opposite.

If you're thinking about contraception make sure to do your own research, speak with your doctor and make the choice that is right for you - you can find out more about contraception at the Yuno website ✨

No, first time s*x should not hurt! Despite what we commonly believe, pain, discomfort and hurt shouldn't be present during s*x whether its your first time or not.

Pain is often a sign that something isn't quite right, so it's important to speak to a doctor for support.

This we're reminding you that s*xual health is a core part of your whole health.

Many people often treat it as separate, other or not as important but in reality, your s*xual health has a huge impact on the rest of your health and wellbeing, so it's important to treat it with just as much respect and attention!

How do you look after your s*xual health? Let us know in the comments!

Consent isn't just about the word "yes" - it's also about our body language and how we feel!

⭐ It's verbal - "Yes" is a great start but other phrases we can use that signal consent might be things like "I like that" or "touch me there" - these affirm that we like what is happening.

⭐ It's physical - Open body language is a big sign that consent is present. This might include prolonged eye contact, smiling, nodding enthusiastically and reciprocating touch.

⭐ It's emotional - We should be feeling lots of positive emotions when consenting including happiness, excitement, joy and pleasure. We should also be feeling safe and relaxed and know that we can trust the person we are with.

It's not always easy to read body language or know the vibe so if ever you are unsure whether consent is present, just stop and ask. Getting a clear verbal yes or no is the safest thing you can do for you and your partner.
