Sexuality and Gender :: Straight

Heterosexuality refers to people who are attracted to members of the opposite sex. Some people believe heterosexual relationships must be easier and it might sometimes seem that there are less support services available to straight people. However, most sexual health services in Brighton and Hove, including the Claude Nicol clinic (GUM clinic), are open to all people, regardless of their sexual identity. See local services

Sexual Health Risk

Pregnancy is often seen as the main concern for heterosexuals. However, straight people are also at risk from STIs and HIV. In fact, the number of reported cases of STIs and HIV transmitted between heterosexual people is rising at an alarming rate. See Safer Sex for further information on how to reduce these risks.
