Why is this important to Lambeth Together?

Lambeth faces some of the greatest sexual health challenges in England. Our rates of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are the highest in England, and there are persistent inequalities in sexual and reproductive health, with young people, gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), and black and minority ethnic communities suffering the greatest burden.

As a partnership we want to improve sexual and reproductive health in Lambeth and make sure people with a sexually transmitted infection get the right support at the right time. Find out more about the Lambeth Together Sexual Health Programme.
