Safer sex means knowing the score, knowing what the risks are. Safer sex means taking steps to reduce your chances of getting pregnant accidentally. Safer sex also means being responsible and protecting you and others from sexually transmitted infections. Have sex sense - find out about contraception before you have sex.

If you don't want to get pregnant then you must use contraception every time you have sex or don't have sex at all! Your doctor, a family planning clinic or most young peoples counselling services (like Bodywise or Time2talk) will be able to help you choose a contraceptive that is right for you. You can get all contraceptives, including condoms free of charge.
