It can be hard to find accurate, up-to-date, and culturally sensitive sexual health information for queer and trans folks. At the QTHC, we’re trying to make it easier for you.
Throughout this section, you’ll find information on a range of sexual health topics. All of the information you read here has been developed by local queer and trans folks, many of whom have significant experience in the area of sexual health, either as healthcare providers or community health workers.
Our aim is to be sex-positive and evidence-driven in our approach to sexual health. We aren’t looking to police your sex life. We want you to be able to have the sex you want to have and we’re hoping that this information can help you determine which safer sex options work best for you.
Note: This website is still in development. We will be adding new content on an ongoing basis over the coming months. If you’re interested in a topic that’s not covered, check back soon or contact us here to let us know.
