Talking about sex doesn’t have to be embarrassing or awkward. It doesn’t have to be that dreaded conversation between a parent/carer and young person. It’s a good thing to understand and talk openly about different types of contraception, or how STIs are contracted, or understanding the way your body works.
The Central Bedfordshire integrated Contraception and Sexual Health (iCaSH) service, provides all aspects of sexual and reproductive health, including contraception, sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV testing and treatment.
