What is Sexual Health Week?

For many of us, digital technology has become a familiar part of how we navigate relationships and manage our wellbeing. Apps are often the default when it comes to dating, and when we need an STI test, we’re just as likely to go online as we are to visit a clinic.

But the recent rapid advances in AI are raising new questions about the future of sexual health and relationships. How do we make sense of what’s real and what’s not in a world of deepfakes and ChatGPT romances? To what extent are social media algorithms shaping public perceptions of contraception and reinforcing gender stereotypes? And how can AI be used effectively to improve sexual health services?
That’s why, for Sexual Health Week 2026, we’re logging on to explore how being Chronically Online is influencing our attitudes and behaviours around sex and relationships.

Sexual Health Week is an annual campaign dedicated to raising awareness about sexual health and well-being. The week focuses on educating the public about various aspects of sexual health, including contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), consent, and healthy relationships. Organized by sexual health organizations and advocacy groups, Sexual Health Week aims to provide accurate information, reduce stigma, and promote open conversations about sexual health. It also emphasizes the importance of access to sexual health services and resources for everyone.

How to Get Involved

Throughout the week, we’ll look at how RSE can empower young people to think critically about the content they consume. We’ll explore how integrating digital and face-to-face sexual health services can help address health inequalities. And we’ll amplify the voices of those using their platforms to combat stigma and misinformation online.
