Can I get contraception? You can have confidential treatment and a prescription for the pill whatever your age, but if you're under 16 a doctor must make certain that you understand your decision, and may encourage you to talk to your parents. It's important to sort out contraception, so you don't get pregnant or catch a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI). The pill doesn't protect against infections, so use a condom as well. They're widely available from vending machines and shops or you can get them free from your GP or a clinic. |
