Teen Reproductive Health

Getting pregnant is easier than you think. So is not getting pregnant.

The Roanoke City & Alleghany Health District is committed to ensuring that all Virginians have access to reproductive health services.

Your local health department has doctors and nurses that can work with you to figure out the best method for you to stay safe and avoid pregnancy. We have low-cost or free services for teens. Make sure you have condoms handy whenever you might have sex. Use birth control and condoms together to make sure you’re doubly protected.

Remember: It’s always okay to wait to have sex. When you decide you’re ready, RCAHD can help with birth control and condoms.

All services are confidential, even for minors. No information can be given to another person without the written consent of the person who received the services.

Services are available for people of all genders and orientations. Costs for services are based on a sliding scale and some insurance plans are accepted. We provide services to everyone regardless of their race, citizenship status or income status. Social security numbers are not required nor proof of residency in the county or city where the services are provided.
