title: HIV/AIDS and sexual health.
abstract: In including HIV/Aids and sexual health as key areas, The health of the nation stresses that 'good personal and sexual relationships can actively promote health and well-being'. This is a central concept, presenting challenges for professionals working in education and health writes Doreen E Massey, director of the Family Planning Association. In the second of our series on the opportunities the white paper offers nurses working in the community, she explores some of these challenges; in particular that promoting sexual health is not simply about disease prevention.
