Welcome to the Suffolk Sexual Health newsletter!

We hope you are well and looking forward to getting into the festive spirit. Did you know that within the UK, September is the most common month for somebody to be born in? This is attributed to more conceptions happening around Christmas time nine months prior. This means that at Suffolk Sexual Health Service, we have been incredibly busy with our promotion of safe sex and supporting communities around Suffolk to access our services.

Within this newsletter edition you will see what we have been up to as well as any other service updates, including:

• World AIDS Day update and review
• Are You Ready? campaign
• New resources
• Upcoming blogs and available free training
