  • The results highlight a staggering disparity between the public's interest in sexual health and healthcare provider accessibility.
  • The World Health Organization classifies sexual health, and access to information regarding sexual health, as a fundamental human right.
  • Sexual health is an intrinsic element of human health and is based on a positive, equitable, and respectful approach to sexuality, relationships, and reproduction."
