Contraception
Contraception is there to help prevent pregnancy. There are lots of different methods of contraception and they are all free from the NHS. At first, it can be quite confusing to get all the facts straight and understand the differences. But the more you know the easier it will be for you to choose which method works best for you.
It is important to remember that the only contraceptive method that protects against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is condoms. So be sure that you always use condoms to protect yourself and your partner.
Fact
A Brook survey found that 70% of young people do not visit a clinic for advice or contraception until after becoming sexually active.
It’s sensible to go along and talk about contraception way before you need it and everything you discuss will be confidential even if you are under 16.
