Adolescent Sexual Health

Adolescent sexual health involves understanding and managing physical, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality during teenage years. It includes access to accurate information about puberty, contraception, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as establishing healthy relationships based on respect and consent. Supporting adolescent sexual health promotes safe behaviors, reduces health risks, and encourages positive self-esteem and decision-making. Open communication with trusted adults and healthcare providers is essential for navigating these changes responsibly and confidently.
