As the US capital city, Washington D.C., has a wide range of health care resources. You can access all forms of birth control, though you will need a prescription for most of them. If you're a minor (under 18 years old), you don't need parental permission to get a birth control prescription. You can get emergency contraception without a prescription. There are many free HIV testing sites as well as general STD/STI testing facilities, some of which also provide counseling, treatment and support. You can find PrEP in D.C. (we have provided information below) and PEP. Regarding pregnancy, D.C. has a parental leave policy that covers many people who may not be covered under FMLA. You can legally get an abortion, though minors typically must have their parents notified of the abortion (though parental consent isn not required). | |||
