As a major American city, you can find many health care resources in Miami. For most forms of birth control, you will need a prescription. If you're a minor, you'll typically need parental permission to obtain birth control. You can purchase many brands of emergency contraception (the morning after pill), regardless of age, but note that this may not apply to all ECP brands. There are many places where you can receive free or low-cost STI tests. There is a large LGBTQ community in Miami, and some STI resources focus on the community. Regarding pregnancy, parental leave is covered under FMLA, though this does not cover all individuals. | As a major American city, you can find many health care resources in Miami.
