Sexual Consent

For information about sexual consent, including what it is, myths and stereotypes, and where to get support, go to Let's Be clear on Consent.

Safer Sex

Condoms

Condoms offer protection from sexually transmitted infections as well as preventing unintended pregnancy. If you are a registered student at the University of Nottingham you can sign up for the UoN condom scheme.

Register for a condom card

You will then be sent a pack of condoms plus a card with your condom scheme number on.

Please keep a note of your condom card number. Please be aware if you may have to wait up to 2 weeks for condoms to arrive in the post.

Once you have received your card via post you can request more condoms by completing this form.

Contraception

The NHS provides information about different types of contraception, including where to get them and how well they work at preventing pregnancy.

Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if your contraceptive method has failed, for instance if a condom has split or you've missed a pill.

Sexually Transmitted Infections

If you are concerned you may have an STI and want to get tested, there are a number of places you can access.
