FAQ’s for Sexual Health
Yes, CommuniCare’s Safe Care Clinic offers free and confidential (private) sexual and reproductive health services to patients ages 12 and older.
In order to provide you with the best health care possible, our providers will ask detailed questions about your sexual health and sexual activity. Our providers are trained to have these conversations in a non-judgmental, non-coercive way. You always have the right to refuse to answer questions or give information to your provider if you are not comfortable.
- For sensitive services such as birth control or sexual health testing and treatment, you can see a medical provider without your parents’ permission if you are at least 12 years old.
- You can make your own appointments (Call xyz) or walk in to any CommuniCare Clinic and fill out a Safe Care Clinic confidential visit paper at the front desk.
- If you are stressed, be open and honest at your appointment, we are here to help you.
- These visits are strictly confidential, just between you and the medical provider.
- You can have a private appointment by phone if you aren’t able to come to a clinic.
We offer pregnancy testing and options counseling to provide best plan for you.
Safe Care Clinic does not offer abortion services, but staff will offer Options Counseling to help you decide on the best plan for what you would like to do after receiving a positive pregnancy result. Our staff can help connect you with an abortion provider if that is your choice.
Emergency contraception is a way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. It works by delaying the release of an egg during the monthly cycle. However, if the sperm and egg unite and travel together to attach to the uterine lining, ECP will not be able to interrupt the pregnancy. Every Safe Care Clinic offers ECP at no cost.
After engaging in sexual activity of any kind (oral, vaginal, anal), you should test for STIs in 2 weeks.
You should get tested for STIs at least once per year while sexually active, and more often if you fall into certain groups. See the CDC website for more details: https://www.cdc.gov/std/prevention/screeningreccs.htm
Pap tests are recommended every three years, starting at age 21 until age 65. More frequent Pap tests may be needed if an abnormal test result is found or if you are at high risk of cervical cancer.
Additional reproductive health services available at CommuniCare Include:
- Annual gynecological exams and PAP tests
- Mammogram referrals
- Menopausal care, including hormone therapy.
- Treatment for urinary tract and vaginal infections
• The PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) pill is taken daily and can reduce the risk of HIV contraction from sex (by 90%+) and shared needles (by 70%+). PrEP is most effective when taken for at least 7 days. It’s prescribed for those who are HIV negative and share needles, and/or have condomless sex with a partner of unknown or positive HIV status.
• The PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) pill is taken within 72 hours of possible HIV exposure, and daily thereafter for 28 days. PEP can reduce the risk of HIV transmission by almost 80%. Prescribed for those who are HIV negative and have had condomless sex with a partner of unknown HIV status, has shared needles, experienced sexual assault, or had a workplace injury.
Both PrEP and PEP are available from CommuniCare’s Safe Care Clinic and through any of our other health care providers. A 60-day supply of PrEP and a 28-day supply of PEP are available without a prescription, and both pills are covered under Medi-Cal. CommuniCare’s Teen Clinic provides free and confidential HIV testing and STI testing.
