What’s sex positivity got to do with it? Exploring sexual health and HIV prevention through a lens of sexual pleasure

Presented in partnership with Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights

Presented in English and French with simultaneous interpretation

Join us for a panel discussion on how sex positivity can enhance sexual and reproductive health, including improving outcomes for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Sex positivity recognizes sexuality as a natural, healthy and diverse aspect of life and allows for the normalization of sexual activities and sexual pleasure. Unlike fear-based or shame-based approaches, sex positivity empowers people to have open and affirming discussions about sex. 

This webinar prepares participants to integrate a sex-positive framework for communicating sexual health information. Speakers discuss how to support clients to make informed sexual health decisions, such as accessing HIV and STI testing services or taking up prevention strategies that work for them, while also promoting safer ways to experience intimacy and sexual pleasure.
