Sexual Reproductive Health Coalition
Clackamas County’s Sexual Reproductive Health Coalition started in January 2019 as a community response to rising Sexually Transmitted Infections.

Birth Control Methods
There are a variety of birth control options available. We recommend you take some time reading about the different methods. As you do, think about which methods will be the best fit for you.
Pregnancy Tests
If you have a positive test, it is important to seek medical care even in the earliest stages of your pregnancy. It’s especially important to start taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid as soon as you can.
See our list of clinics above to find services, including where to get a free or low-cost pregnancy test, or get follow-up care.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be easily diagnosed and treated. Anyone who is sexually active should get tested regularly for STI, also commonly referred to as a sexually transmitted disease or STD. Sometimes a person with a sexually transmitted infection has no symptoms, which means they can pass it on to their partners without knowing.
If you or your partner have an STI, you both need to be treated at the same time to avoid reinfection.
Relationship Safety
Everyone deserves to feel safe. If you or someone you know experiences domestic abuse, sexual assault, verbal and emotional abuse, coercion or stalking, we encourage you to seek help.
