4th<\/sup> September is World Sexual Health Day instigated by the World Association of Sexual Health (WAS). The theme for this day is \u201cPositive Relationships\u201d.   <\/p>\n

Building positive relationships with yourself, your partner, your community and health care providers, your friends and family fosters healthy and meaningful connections that ensure your mental and emotional well-being. These in turn will enable you to be confident with your personal sexual health, especially when building dynamic relationships with your body and your chosen sexual partner. Equally, organisations and health care providers that promote sexual health would benefit their patients and clients through better understanding of everyone’s complex cultural and social situation. <\/p>\n
