Choosing Contraception:
There are many different contraceptive methods available and different methods suit people at different times of their lives. A GP or Contraception and Sexual Health clinic will help young people to make an informed decision about what is best for them and their partner.
Follow this link to view information about all the contraceptive methods available. A GP, Sexual Health and Contraception clinic or school nurse can provide more information on any method a young person is interested in.
Male and female condoms and spermicides can be bought without going to a doctor or clinic. Spermicides on their own are not recommended as a reliable contraceptive.
Condoms are recommended for use by young people as they are the only contraception to protect against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and pregnancy.
