Manx Newscast: Breaking the stigma around sexual health

Medical professionals are facing a ‘constant battle’ to try and reduce the stigma around sexual health.Earlier this month the new Manx Integrated Sexual Health Centre relocated to a new home on Kensington Road, in Douglas, to meet the ‘ever-growing’ demands on the service.It's now described as a ‘one stop shop’ for contraception, testing and the management and treatment of all sexually transmitted infections including HIV.Another media outlet on the Island was recently criticised for how it reported the move after initially choosing to use what some people saw as an inappropriate headline.Lead Nurse Amanda Dawson spoke to Manx Radio about the new facility, the benefits for patients, and the impact of negative press.
