You'll need a prescription to obtain birth control, but there are no age restrictions or any forms of parental permission required for minors to obtain a prescription. If you want emergency contraception (the morning after pill), it can be purchased in pharmacies or you can also access it (for free or a reduced cost) at health centers. There are many centers where you can get an STI test, some of which we list below in the "Sexually Transmitted Infections" section, as well as support groups for people with Hepatitis C, herpes, HIV and other infections. You can obtain an abortion at health centers or hospitals and, while state laws are much less restrictive than other states, some restrictions apply, especially for minors (who typically need parental consent). You can access many medications, including the HPV vaccine, PrEP and PEP, in Boston, as well. Please refer to the information below for more specific details. | ||
