| Summary: | Sexual health is defined as part of reproductive health and includes healthy sexual development; equitable and responsible relationships and sexual fulfilment; and freedom from illness, disease, disability, violence and other harmful practices related to sexuality. For this project on Health Problems of Migrants Workers, a section on sexual health was incorporated based on a special concern over sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and high-risk behaviours. Access to healthcare is recognised to be a problem with minority or marginalised groups, including adolescents and migrant populations, especially undocumented migrants. This exacerbates the issue of control and management of STDs.
The Sexual Health section covered experience with sexual intercourse, and a limited number of questions related to sex partners and condom use among those who are sexually experienced. |
