2. Context for PPE work2. Context for PPE work

The World Health Organisation defines sexual health as: ''the state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being

related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction and infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive, respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled.''

“I am more than a pillbox. I want to have a say in my health. I want to be listened to. This is my health” - Mike, person with HIV

3. Why PPE is important for sexual health in London

Significant impact on health in every boroughSexual Health has a significant impact on health in every

borough in London. The city is disproportionately affected by Sexual ill health. This is recognised in the Mayor's Health Inequalities Strategy (2009):

London has particular challenges. The capital has the highest rates of new diagnoses of sexually transmitted infections such as Chlamydia,

gonorrhoea and syphilis. London also accounts for 52% of the country’s known cases of HIV. As with other conditions and diseases,

these London-specific problems disproportionately affect some of London’s poorest and most socially excluded groups.
