Overview

Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being in relation to sexuality, encompassing safe and informed decisions about relationships, contraception, fertility, and the prevention, testing, and treatment of sexually transmitted infections. It depends on accurate knowledge, access to services, respectful communication, and freedom from coercion and stigma. Education about reproductive anatomy, protective practices, and regular screening helps reduce the risk of infections and unintended pregnancies and supports overall well-being across the lifespan. Research published by this journal addresses many dimensions of sexual health. Studies report on the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections in the United Kingdom from home-collected samples and on temporal trends in syphilis epidemiology in the UAE, providing data on infection burden and surveillance. Other work examines parent-adolescent and adolescent-parent communication on sexual and reproductive health in Ethiopia and Nepal, knowledge of sexual and reproductive health among school-enrolled adolescents in Nicaragua, and barriers to implementing patient screening and linkage to pre-exposure prophylaxis in primary care. Additional studies assess knowledge and preventive practice against HIV/AIDS among students in Nigeria. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to sexual health, supporting readers seeking primary literature on prevention, education, and the epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections.
