Contraception

Contraception is used to help prevent unplanned pregnancy. There are many methods of contraception to choose from and all methods are available within Trafford.

Information and advice on the different contraceptive methods and what options may be right for you can be found on the Contraception Choices website.

Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC):

LARC is the most effective form of contraception at preventing pregnancy that does not rely on you remembering to take or use it. The types of LARC are:

Contraceptive implant

Intrauterine device (IUD), also known as the coil - this can be with or without hormones (copper IUD)

Contraceptive injection

If you are interested in getting LARC or would like to find out more, book an appointment with your GP or the Northern Contraception, Sexual Health and HIV Service.

If LARC is not offered at your registered GP practice, you can get a LARC fitting or removal at another GP practices in Trafford through Trafford's Inter-practice LARC Referral Service:

Bodmin Road Health Centre:

Likely Mon, Tues, Wed am

Referral letter from your registered GP practice following an initial LARC consultation at your registered GP practice.

Boundary House Medical Centre:

Self-refer by calling 0161 972 9999 and select Option 1 to book the initial telephone consultation with a nurse.

Following the consultation, the nurse will book the fitting or removal appointment.

Partington Family Practice:

Mon-Thurs

One Saturday per month

Self-refer by calling 0161 775 7033 or through a referral form from your registered GP practice.

Offers an initial consultation with a nurse prior to the appointment to assess any possible contraindications.

Timperley Health Centre:

Implant only

Self-refer by calling 0161 980 3715 or a referral form from your registered GP practice.

Offers consultation with a doctor prior to the appointment to assess any possible contraindications.

Dr Westwood also accepts referrals for deep implant removals.

West Timperley Medical Centre:

Referral letter from your registered GP practice following an initial LARC consultation at your registered GP practice.

Referrals can also be made to the Northern Contraception, Sexual Health and HIV Service from your GP for routine and complex LARC fittings and removals. To book an initial telephone consultation for LARC at one of the Northern's sexual health clinics.

Oral and Combined Hormonal Contraception

Oral and combined hormonal contraceptive methods work to prevent pregnancy but are less effective than LARC methods as they rely on the person remembering to take or use it.

Oral and combined hormonal contraception methods include the progestogen-only pill, combined contraceptive pill, combined contraceptive patch and the combined vaginal ring.

Oral and combined hormonal contraception are available from the Northern's sexual health clinics and some GPs.

Repeat and new prescriptions for oral hormonal contraception are also available from some pharmacies in Trafford through the Pharmacy Contraception Service (PCS): full list of pharmacies.

Emergency Contraception

If you've had unprotected sex and are worried you may be pregnant, or if your usual method of contraception has failed, there are 2 types of emergency contraception you can use:

The copper intrauterine device (copper IUD) - you can walk in or call your local sexual health clinic during opening hours for an emergency appointment. ​The copper IUD is the most effective form of emergency contraception.

Emergency hormonal contraception (EHC) - this is known as the "morning after" pill or emergency contraceptive pill. There are two types of EHC with different active ingredients: levonorgestrel (Levonelle) or ulipristal acetate (ellaOne). EHC is available from certain pharmacies, GPs, and sexual health clinics. An emergency contraceptive pill needs to be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex (up to 5 days) to have the best change of working. Find pharmacies in Trafford offering EHC.

If you're too late for emergency contraception, you can access advice by calling the Greater Manchester Central Booking helpline on 0345 365 0565.
If you have had unprotected sex or the condom failed, it is really important to also consider your risk for sexually transmitted infections and to think about your long-term contraception needs.

Condoms

Condoms protect you from STIs, including HIV, and are also a barrier method of contraception. There are both male and female condoms.

You can get free condoms from:

1. GP practices

2. The Northern Contraception, Sexual Health and HIV Service

3. Voluntary, charity, faith and social enterprise sector organisations (VCFSE) including:

LGBT Foundation (people identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) - Free Condoms and Lube at your doorstep! - LGBT Foundation

BHA for Equality (Greater Manchester residents from ethnically diverse communities 18 years and over) - Order condoms - BHA for Equality (thebha.org.uk)

Condoms can also be purchased online or at your local pharmacy or supermarket.
Back to top of page
Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Testing and Treatment including HIV

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections spread by unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex, genital contact or through sharing sex toys. Anyone can get an STI and many people with STIs do not have symptoms, so it's worth getting tested even if you feel fine. Early detection and treatment of STIs reduces the spread of infection and may avoid or delay serious complications and consequences, which could cause long-term damage to your health.

STI Testing

Regular STI testing is essential to maintain good sexual health. Everyone should get tested for STIs at least once a year if having condomless sex with a new or casual partner(s), even if you do not have any symptoms. Those at higher risk of STIs (gay and bisexual men who have sex with men, people who engage in chemsex, and sex workers) should get tested every 3 months.

You can access free STI tests from a number of places:

Online:

Free home testing kits for STIs are available to order discretely online if you do not have any symptoms and are aged 16 years or older.

Chlamydia and gonorrhoea (16-24 years) - available online from https://hello.brook.org.uk/hometest or collected from local organisations in Trafford, such as Talkshop and local pharmacies.

Chlamydia and gonorrhea (over 25 years) - available from SH-24. Please note that this is currently a pilot service.

In Person:

If you have symptoms or are aged under 16 years, you should get tested in person. Testing is available at the following places:

The Northern Contraception, Sexual Health and HIV Service

For the full list in Trafford: Trafford Sexual Health and Wellbeing Services - Google My Maps

STI Treatment

If you do get an STI, do not worry, early treatment can prevent complications and reduce symptoms. STI treatment can be prescribed through your GP practice, the Northern Contraception, Sexual Health and HIV Service, and local pharmacies.

HIV Support

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that can weaken your immune system and is mostly transmitted through sex. There is currently no cure, but early diagnosis and effective treatment enables people with HIV to live full and healthy lives.

If you think you have been exposed to HIV, please visit the Northern Contraception, Sexual Health and HIV Service as soon as possible for an emergency appointment. Walk in or call your local clinic during opening hours, if the clinics are not open, please attend A&E. Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) can be prescribed within 72 hours of a possible exposure to HIV for treatment in individuals who are HIV negative. The sooner PEP treatment is started, the better.

The Northern Contraception, Sexual Health and HIV Service provides support for people living with HIV, more information on their support services can be found at HIV - The Northern Sexual Health

For advice on starting, suspending or getting repeat PrEP prescriptions: PrEP at The Northern Sexual Health website or your GP Practice.

More information on HIV, PrEP and postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) can be found online at https://www.tht.org.uk/hiv-and-sexual-health.

The Proud Trust empower LGBTQ+ young people and the adults in their lives to create positive change for the future. Their work is building a safer environment for LGBTQ+ young people to thrive and achieve their full potential in all the spaces they exist. The Proud Trust support young people across the North-West and beyond through youth groups, mentoring programmes and more. They work with and support adults in trusted positions, including schools and other children's services, helping them make spaces more LGBTQ+ inclusive as well as improving confidence in tackling discrimination and celebrating diversity.
