It's happened to all of us - we've seen something online and thought its true, only to find out a little while later it was in fact not - we might even feel silly or annoyed we got fooled so easily! Here are 4 tips to help you spot or avoid misinformation online around your sexual health:

This years theme for Sexual Health Week 2025 is ‘Chronically Online’. It looks at the way our current digital landscape with social media apps, online dating, online influencers and AI can be distorting and influencing our attitudes and behaviours around sex and relationships.

SASH wants to hear from you! 📣 We want to better understand the barriers people face around cervical screenings. If you live in Hammersmith and Fulham and have had a cervical screening or might have delayed or avoided one, we’d love to hear why.

Accepting you need support is a daunting task and we are here to support and guide you to where you want to be in your life.

Stealthing is when your sexual partner removes the condom during sex without your knowledge and consent, or lies about using one in the first place. Not only does this void your consent, as you'd only agreed to sex with a condom, but it's also against the law.

The Supreme Court of the UK is about to rule on the rights of trans women in a case in which no trans women were allowed to give evidence or participate in any way.

The UK supreme court has gutted the legal recognition of trans people. They also recognized the concept of sex based rights which is just absurd. There's no such thing as sex based rights. There is the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex. www.cbsnews.com/news/uk-supr...

In light of things happening elsewhere, this is a great step forward in ending the postcode lottery of who could and couldn't access the morning after pill for free from pharmacies! ❤️ #healthcare #womenshealth #wellbeing #healthandwellbeing www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For International Women's Day 2025, SASH embarked on a Walking 'Herstory' Tour in the area around @turningpoint-uk.bsky.social's London offices!

We marked the Covid-19 Day of Remembrance today with a special ceremony in Furnival Gardens, Hammersmith, attended by H&F Leader Stephen Cowan, Mayor Patricia Quigley and Deputy Mayor Daryl Brown. An oak tree was planted as a living memorial, to every resident impacted by Covid.

This just goes to show that there is still a very long way to go in prioritising, researching and understanding women's health, especially in sexual and reproductive health.

New study in NEJM suggests bacterial vaginosis (BV) should be classified as an STI, not just a women's health issue. Treating male partners reduced recurrence by 60%. This common infection affects 1 in 3 women globally. #BacterialVaginosis

A study, led by Lenka Vodstrcil and Catriona Bradshaw from Melbourne Sexual Health Centre, reveals that "reinfection from partners is causing a lot of the bacterial vaginosis (BV) recurrence women experience, and provides evidence that BV is in fact an STI". www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...
