The national strategy for sexual health and HIV (linking closely to the Government's teenage pregnancy strategy) identifies young people as a priority group for action to improve sexual health. The Government's 'Sex Lottery' and teenage pregnancy, 'Ruthinking' media campaigns are raising awareness among young people of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and how to avoid them. The Department is also tackling the most common STI through the national chlamydia screening programme, which already covers a quarter, or 84, of primary care trusts in England and is being rolled-out across the rest of the country. Sexual health has also been highlighted as an important area in the "Choosing Health" public health White Paper consultation, launched on 3 March.
