===Laws & Social Stigmas===
In Arizona, you need a prescription to obtain most birth control. You don't need parental permission to get a birth control prescription. While you can go to many clinics, some people prefer to go to Title X clinics. These are clinics that are completely confidential, which means that your appointment and billing will be confidential. At Title X Clinics, teens and adults can receive sexual and reproductive health care. They charge on a sliding-scale basis. They may be able to give you a prescription to birth control pills, as well as condoms and sexual health counseling. If you pay for their services with family health insurance and you're a teenager, your parents may see that you visited the clinic in their bills. We provide a list of Title X clinics (as well as some low-cost clinics) below.

In the United States, you need a prescription to obtain most birth control methods, except for some methods (like condoms and spermicide). In some states, you also need parental permission to obtain birth control if you're under 18 years old. However, if you're a minor, you can go to a Title X Clinic. These clinics are completely confidential, which means that your appointment and billing will be confidential.
