2SLGBTQIA+ Health

About 1 in every 10 people is 2SLGBTQIA+.

2SLGBTQIA+ is an acronym that stands for:

  • Two-spirit,
  • Lesbian,
  • Gay,
  • Bisexual,
  • Transgender,
  • Queer or Questioning,
  • Intersex,
  • Asexual,
  • additional sexual orientations and gender identities

If you are a 2SLGBTQIA+ person, it is important to learn how to keep yourself and your partner healthy.

Everyone deserves to be healthy, regardless of age, race, income, sexual orientation or gender identity. 2SLGBTQIA+ people have the same health needs as anyone else, but there are some specific health issues that may be more likely to affect them.

If you have questions, need help, or want to get tested for Sexually Transmitted Infections, drop into a local Sexual Health Clinic. Our nurses are 2SLGBTQIA+-friendly and are here to support you in making the right decisions about your sexual health. All of our clinics are completely confidential.
