Under 18’s Support

Reliable, factual and easily accessible information around sex, consent and sexual health is really important. It helps people to make informed decisions about when to have

sex, what types of sex they want to have and how to look after their sexual health and wellbeing. This is particularly important for young people who may develop relationships and start

having sex. We offer free, confidential, non-judgemental information, advice and support.

We have an Outreach Team that specifically support Under 18s. They can provide conversations around healthy relationships, contraception options and safer sexual practice. This can take place at Arndale House, in the community or at school/college/ALP (Alternative Learning Provision).

If you would like to book an appointment you can call reception on 01582 497070. Alternatively you can walk-in to Luton Sexual Health and will be triaged by our Outreach Team. We cannot guarantee that you will get everything you need on the day, but we will book you in for a follow-up appointment.

The clinic provides access to:

• a full range of contraceptive methods, including long-acting reversible contraception and  emergency contraception (the morning after pill)
• sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, treatment and care
• HIV information and HIV testing, treatment and care
• free condoms, lube and sign up to the condom card (C-Card) scheme (access to condoms across different sites in Luton)
