Hot summer. Safer choices. Make sexual health part of your summer plans.

25 June 2026

 Whether you're heading to festivals, jetting off on holiday, enjoying the sunshine with friends or making the most of Surrey this summer, there's one thing that deserves a place on your checklist – your sexual health.

This summer, Surrey Sexual Health is encouraging everyone to make simple, informed choices to help protect themselves and their partners.

The latest UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data shows that while overall STI diagnoses across England have fallen, young people aged 15–24 continue to experience the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections. Chlamydia remains the most commonly diagnosed STI, accounting for almost half of all diagnoses.

Closer to home, Surrey's new Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy highlights recent rises in STI diagnoses, lower-than-target chlamydia detection rates in young women and the importance of increasing awareness of local sexual health services.

Summer plans? Pack these essentials.

Alongside your sunscreen, sunglasses and phone charger, don't forget to think about your sexual health.

This could include:

  • Condoms
  • Contraception
  • Home STI testing kits
  • PrEP, if you're eligible
  • Knowing where your nearest sexual health clinic is

Whether you've started a new relationship, had unprotected sex, or simply haven't been tested in a while, getting tested is one of the easiest ways to look after yourself.

Getting tested is quick, free and confidential

Many sexually transmitted infections don't cause symptoms, so regular testing is the only way to know your status.

Surrey Sexual Health offers:

  • Free and confidential STI testing
  • Home testing kits
  • Contraception appointments
  • HIV testing
  • PrEP assessments
  • Friendly, non-judgemental advice

Testing is quick, confidential and available to anyone who needs it.

If you need to see a clinician because you have symptoms or are a contact of a sexually transmitted infection, please visit www.sexualhealth.cnwl.nhs.uk for more information on booking an appointment in one of our sexual health clinics in London and Surrey. 

Getting a sexual health check is easy and shouldn’t be embarrassing or shameful; sex is a normal part of our adult life, and STIs can be a part of it, so we encourage everybody to test regularly and be in control of their sexual health. It’s a quick, simple process that not only puts your mind at rest but could protect you from more serious complications like infertility. Protect your sex life – and protect your partner.

Sexual health is part of your overall wellbeing. This summer, take a few minutes to protect your future self so you can enjoy everything the season has to offer with confidence.
