Birth control information

Advice on birth control and sexuality is available from, for example, your health station and the centralised contraceptive counselling service.

We offer advice and services related to the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in health stations, school health care, student health care, maternity and child health clinics and centralised contraceptive counselling. All units also provide advice and guidance related to sexuality.

If you are considering going on birth control, contact your health station or school nurse. If you are under 17 years of age and are considering going on birth control, please contact the centralised contraceptive counselling service. Centralised contraceptive counselling also helps in matters such as the contraceptive implant or problems related to birth control.

Contraceptive counselling is free of charge. Contraceptives are free of charge for people under 25 and in certain other situations.

Free condoms are available from the health stations, school nurses, student health care nurses, maternity and child health clinics and centralised contraceptive counselling units.
