HEALTH AND MEDICAL
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's)
Whilst we are called The Dorset Deaf CHILDRENS Society we recognise that several of our members are young adults now and we would like to provide them with information on how to hopefully avoid, or, if this is not possible, recognise and get treatment for some of the more common sexually transmitted diseases. The following link has information which applies to both sexes and is relevent to all types of sexuality.

We would always recommend that you should talk to a Doctor or other medical professional if you are unsure or concerned over any health issues.
