Understanding Sexual Health
Sexual health is essential for general health, quality of life, and overall well-being. The Declaration for Sexual Rights by the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS 2014) defines sexual health as a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being in relationship to sexuality. It is a right grounded in universal human rights and is developed over a lifespan – from cradle to grave. BLISS Health embraces this concept by integrating sexuality into life in a balanced way, understanding that safe and delightful sexual experiences free of coercion, discrimination, and violence make all the difference… it’s all about a positive, respectful approach.
The Mission of BLISS Health
BLISS Health’s mission revolves around elevating the standard of medical care in Florida for individuals affected by or at risk of sexually transmitted diseases.

By providing a judgement-free space and an inclusive environment, BLISS Health encourages every person to enhance their sexual health. The focus is on accommodating patients with improved care and ensuring that financial or social barriers do not stop anyone from accessing essential services.
