STI’s

Did you know If you’re 16-24, you’re more at risk of getting an STI

  • You don’t need to have sex with lots of people to get an STI
  • Many STIs are symptomless and, if left untreated, can cause long-term health problems
  • STIs like gonorrhoea are becoming harder to treat or may not be treatable at all
  • 59% of people who got chlamydia or gonorrhoea in 2016 were aged 16-24.

So don’t delay and come in for a full STI screening this spring and kick start to a healthier you this Spring/Summer 2018.

Contraception

We offer a variety of contraceptive methods including implants, various pills and coils.

Emergency contraception. We also offer free emergency contraception in our clinics. But most GP practices and some pharmacies also offer this service for FREE.

FREE condoms.Both male and female condoms are also available from all our clinics free of charge. Condoms can also be purchased from over the counter in chemists, shops, petrol stations and sometimes from vending machines.
