Free Emergency Hormonal Contraception

admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:30:58 +0000

There are many pharmacies across Halton & St Helens that provide a wide range of sexual health products such as; Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC), pregnancy testing kits, condoms and possibly Chlamydia Screening home kits. Most of the time you will have to pay for these products in pharmacies but you can always go to your GP or Community Sexual Health Clinics for a ‘free’ service.

EHC is provided free of charge at the pharmacies listed below which means that one or more members of staff have attended special training so that they can provide this free service. This means that it’s very important that you CHECK FIRST – perhaps give them a call before you go incase the trained pharmacist is not there because if they’re not around you may have to pay up to £25 for EHC.

What are relationships?

admin — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:08:06 +0000

You’ve met someone you really like and now you’re going out. But does this mean you have to start having sex? The simple answer is no. having sex doesn’t have to be the next step from kissing, or something you have to do when you’re 16… or when you’ve been going out for a certain length of time. Far from it.

The best relationships start with friendship and trust builds from there. You can go out with someone for a long time at any age and still find loads of ways to have fun and feel close without having sex. It might take you weeks, months or even years before you decide you’re ready to go further. That’s perfectly ok. Take it slowly, think about your feelings and don’t feel pressured by your partner. If they try to make you do something you’re not ready for, they’re just not right for you.
