You don't have to be sexually active to come to the contraceptive and sexual health sessions. Even if you are just thinking about having sex and want more information, or if you want to talk to a worker....

WHAT CONTRACEPTION CAN I GET @ STREETWISE?

 

You can get:

- Emergency Contraception also called the morning after pill – you can take this up to 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex. This can stop you from getting pregnant.

- Condoms, these too will stop pregnancy and also condoms can prevent you from catching or passing on a Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI). Click the silver card at the bottom of this page to find out more.


- Pills and Injections when you see the nurse or doctor they can discuss which method would be best for you, pills and injections will stop pregnancy, but if you are worried about STIs then you will need to also use a condom.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HELP!

 

Think you might be pregnant???

We can do a pregnancy test with immediate results. We can also talk through the best options for you; this might include having an abortion or continuing with the pregnancy. We can also confidentially refer you for an abortion.

what if Streetwise is shut and I need emergency contraception?

Well… you can telephone Graingerville Clinic on (0191) 219 5239 to find out opening times of clinics near you, or details of pharmacists which can give out free emergency contraception even to under 16's. Both services are also confidential.
