facing the issues of sexually transmitted disease (Fan, Wang, and Wang, 2019). The promotion
of sexual health wellbeing is useful for the people to get a better understanding for the reduction
of risk that is well associated with sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and unwanted
pregnancy. Therefore, the main risk of sexual health diseases is chlamydia which is defined as a
sexual health issue that is usually faced by various populations in the United Kingdom with a
prevalence of 3%. In addition, sexual health promotion plays a vital role in order to reduce and
minimize the risk and issue which may be associated with a sexual health issue. There are other

their sexuality and the context with the biological, psychological, and sociological considerations
that may a provide accuracy in order to gain the skills that they show their performances by

problems and the clinics are useful in order to prevent and treat the sexually transmitted infection
faced by couples due to the lack of information regarding sexual health. It is also provided
people with counselling and education that is related to sexual health problems. There is a great
gap in the delivery of sexual health services because the people are hesitant and face talking
about the complications associated with the sexual health issues. In addition, the major issues are
3

usually due to the lack of education invalid resources of sexual information and socio-cultural
changes and challenges in providing sexual health issues. In addition, most of the families do not
hesitate to take reliable help that is associated with the issue of sexuality because of the cultural
sensitivity and taboos are face their life have become so complicated. Overall, after sometime the
sexual help promotion is implicated that may show reliable and validated source for the people to
talk about their complications and take proper advice in the terms of medication and
management with the proper aim to reduce the complication and enhance the positive sexual

The sexual health promotion usually provides a core index toward the perspective and
perception of people to talk about their sexual health issues without any hesitations and take
proper advice that is useful to reduce or minimise the risk of sexual health infection. In addition,
the sexual help promotion is usually having a single aim that exploring the sexual health

The sexual health promotion is usually associated with the team which have a core principle
that they follow in order to create education and awareness among the population who is facing

National health services in order to promote good sexual and reproductive health among the
young people and many more. In addition, the healthcare professional also creates understanding
regards with the specific activities or strategies that are helpful in order to create a barrier that

such as chlamydia. At last, the healthcare professionals also show their approach to the sexual
health promotion by utilizing the opportunities in the different health and social care setting to
4

provide sexual health, reproductive health and prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, education to
the number of populations who is relatively dealing with the issues of sexual infection
(Korenromp and et. al., 2020).
As the core responsibilities of the sexual health promotions are usually to create assurance
towards the individual that they are entitled to confidential non-judgemental access to
information and services. In addition, they also show their impact as health and social care
professionals to the people by providing the information about the full range of contraceptive

Therefore, the people are usually getting a better understanding of the different sexually

contributed to the awareness and regards the sex education which provides proper reliable and
sources that is used within the services by implemented in such a way that reduces the overall

There are various roles and responsibilities which are taken by the government in order to
create barrier and prevention aspects for the increasing cases of sexually transmitted diseases.
They use to implement various policies and legislation that inhibited such aspects that promoted
the infection-related to the sexual health. Therefore, the local needs are well analysed by the

health profile in order to support the local authorities and others to get monitor the health of their
population on a particular reason and contributed of the public health-related system. It is the

order to analyze the impact and promotional activities which may show the approach that
provide the use of proper policy, interventions, and demonstration of education which is related

There are some of the prevention programs which is usually initiated by the HIV prevention
resources are available by HIV prevention England. The National prevention program that is
associated with the correspondence with National health services play a vital role in order to
deliver quality-based education and awareness that is implemented within the different areas and
regions that control the increasing cases of sexual health issues. The sexual and reproductive
health information for professionals is usually provided with the help of national programs that is
usually help to create the general population to understand the consequences and complication of
sexual transmitted disease. Teenage pregnancy is associated with the professional resources and
tools that is helpful to maintain the reduction and narrow the inequalities which is based on the
under 18 conception rates with a self-assessment checklist that is helpful to identify the address
gaps. Chlamydia is the major issue where the National chlamydia screening program is well
