Contraception

There are many types of contraception you can use including condoms, diaphragms, caps, the pill, the coil and sterilisation. Most methods of contraception can only be used by women because only women can get pregnant, but there’s no reason why you can’t both share the responsibility of it - especially as using condoms also guards against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI).

There are sexual health clinics which are just for young people. The doctors and nurses at the clinic won’t tell anyone that you’ve been there, or why you’ve been. They will only tell someone else if you’re under 13, or if you’re older but they feel they need to make sure you’re safe and have support and really understand about sex and sexual relationships.
