Condoms and other forms of Contraception
It's Your Choice provides a free and confidential Condom Distribution Service to young people who live in the New Forest from our various drop in locations.
Staff, have to ensure that young people know how to use them correctly before they give condoms out. We are generally able to provide a limited range of condoms that are for the personal use of that young person.
Staff will also want to talk with young people about the risks and consequences of having sex and that they are not under pressure to do something they don't want to do - see the relationships page. They will encourage young people to talk with their parents and carers about their sexual health and ensure they are aware of the law regarding "under age sex"
We can also provide young people with information about different types of contraception that is available and discuss the pros and cons of each one. Staff may refer young people to the Contraception and Sexual Health Nurse at the Monday Clinic in Totton or advise them of others services nearer to where they live.
For more information on condoms, contraception and general sexual health follow the relevant web links. Remember, you can always phone Its Your Choice for advice 0800 515819.
