For Teens

In Alaska, all health care services offered at family planning clinics are confidential. This means that you don't need written permission from your parent or guardian to get services like birth control, annual exams, pregnancy testing and testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It also means we will not share information with anyone about your visit unless you ask us to. However, we always encourage teens to talk with a parent or trusted adult about their health care concerns.

While all public health centers offer services for teens, including STI screening and family planning services, some health centers have special walk-in times specifically for teen clients. Call your nearest public health center for more information (Find a Public Health Center)
