Free Condoms
When used correctly and consistently, condoms are an extremely effective method of preventing STIs, such as HIV, and avoiding unwanted pregnancies. If you’re under 25 years old and live in the City or Hackney, you can access free condoms and lubricant from a range of local venues, which include pharmacies, GP practices, youth hubs and colleges.
You can also access free condoms if you are 25+ and in the following group(s) at higher risk of STIs and HIV:
- gay / bisexual men
- Black African and Black Caribbean
- client of a substance misuse service
- involved in sex working
