Nashville: Difference between revisions

In Tennessee, you need a prescription for contraception (birth control). If you're a minor, you don't need parental consent or notification to get a prescription. You don't need a prescription for emergency contraception (the morning after pill) -- and, if you're a minor, you can get one emergency contraceptive brand (Plan B One Step) without a prescription. Everyone, no matter their age, needs to get a prescription for ella, which is currently considered the most effective emergency contraceptive on the market. You can easily get low-cost STI tests in the city, and some clinics offer free HIV testing. In supermarkets and convenience stores, you can find pads, tampons and menstrual cups, such as DivaCup. If you want to obtain an abortion, you must first undergo a one-on-one counseling session followed by a 48-hour wait period. If you're under 18 years old, you must usually get consent from one of parents before you receive an abortion (though you can sometimes get a judicial bypass).
