Pregnancy
Pregancy testing and sexual health counseling for young women and adults (13 to 25 years of age) is offered at your local Health Centre. You can also speak to your family physician or a walk-in clinic.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
Having sex? Thinking about it? Protect yourself and be informed.
Did you know that:
- STIs can occur any time you have sexual contact.
- STIs can affect your general health, well-being and ability to have children?
- It is easier to prevent an STI than to treat one once it has happened.
- IH offers many services to reduce HIV transmission.
