SH:24

SH:24 We talk sexual and reproductive health 24/7, embracing body positivity; relationship, wellbeing and mental health; all genders and sexualities. What is SH:24?

We offer free STI testing, advice & support in partnership with the NHS: discreet, quick & confidential. SH:24 is a new way of accessing NHS sexual health services. Who is the service for? Like traditional NHS sexual health clinics, SH:24 is for everyone. But we really hope it will provide access to people most at risk and in need - particularly if you don’t currently use NHS clinics. Over the next four years we will be further developing the service to include:

Sexual health advice
Emergency hormonal contraception
General contraception
Pregnancy tests
Information on treatment options

A bit more about us
SH:24 is funded by Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity during its four year development phase. We work in partnership with Lambeth and Southwark Public Health Directorate and two local NHS Foundation trusts. We are also available in Essex, Medway, Telford & Wrekin, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Medway working in partnership with Provide and a team of other health providers and third sector organisations. How are we designing SH:24? We are using a design-led approach which involves lots of user testing. We are building and testing the service in a number of phases. We will only move to the next phase when we have learned from your feedback, adding more features as we go. Phase one launched in March 2015 allowing people to:

It might seem unexpected, but feeling overwhelmed after s*x or even shedding a few tears is normal! So long as it's off the back of a pain-free, consensual experience! 💕

Intimacy can bring up all kinds of emotions, from relief and vulnerability to happiness, connection, or even nothing you can quite put your finger on...
It doesn't mean something is wrong, sometimes it's just your body and mind processing an emotional or physical experience.
Be gentle with yourself, check in with how you're feeling, and remember: tears after s*x can be completely normal ✨

It can feel scary, awkward, or overwhelming, but a partner telling you they’ve tested positive for an STI is actually a really important (and responsible) step 💛

Most STIs don’t show obvious symptoms, so getting informed and knowing your next move puts you back in control.

Our expert nurses share practical steps for looking after yourself ✨

New research shows that the HPV vaccine is working to prevent cervical cancer and save lives!

Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women and 99% of cases are caused by high-risk strands of HPV (human papillomavirus). The HPV vaccine was rolled out 2008 and we're now starting to see the difference it has made.

Along with regular cervical screenings, the HPV vaccination can help us end cervical cancer. So if you're eligible, get the jab!

Learning what feels good, what doesn’t, and what you actually want is powerful 🤍
Ma********on, partnered s*x and solo fantasies can all play a part. The more you understand yourself, the easier it is to speak up in your relationships - to ask for what you want and set boundaries.

Take your time and treat yourself right. Give yourself permission to explore pleasure on your own terms.✨

The CoSRH (College of Sexual and Reproductive Health) announced last week that the implant, or Nexplanon, has now been licensed to use for up to 5 years.

Previously, the implant was used for up to 3 years, but new research shows it effectively prevents pregnancy for even longer.

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in the UK, and most people will get positive tests for ge***al, re**al or oral chlamydia. However, did you know it can affect the eyes too? 👀

This condition is called chlamydial conjunctivitis. It’s uncommon, but it’s important to be aware of it. It can look like regular “pink eye”, so it’s easy to miss.
