Common Questions Useful Contacts
Cwestiynau Cyffredin Cysylltiadau Defnyddiol

Sexual Health

Sexual health products can be collected for free from the Students Union Advice desk on floor 3, between the hours of 10-4pm Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays. We stock:

  • Condoms (including latex free and internal)
  • Pregnancy tests

You can also collect condoms 24/7 from the dispenser in the Welcome Centre on floor 2, or the bathrooms on floor 3.

 

Sexual Health Clinics

The NHS provides clinics at Cardiff Royal Infirmary (CRI) and in other locations across Cardiff. All clinics are confidential. You will also be able to find clinics nearer home too.

The CRI provides the most comprehensive Sexual Health service and would be the recommended point of contact for the majority of issues.

If you require a sexual health appointment, contact the CRI on the number below. You can call between 8.30am and 5pm, Monday - Friday.

Cardiff Royal Infirmary - Newport Road, Cardiff, CF24 0SZ

Please see the Sexual Health Website for further information. Alternatively you can download the CRI service leaflet here.

 

Sex and your wellbeing

For sexual activity to be as enjoyable as possible for you and whoever you are doing it with, all involved have to be 100% happy with what's happening and completely aware of the decisions they are making.

If you want to brush up on your knowledge regarding sexual health, you can read through this guide. It covers all the birds and the bees, from consent, through different types of sex, to common problems everyone encounters.

 

Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception, if taken correctly can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. It is available free of charge to women of any age from contraceptive clinics and GPs. Details of these clinics in Cardiff can be found here.

There are two main types of emergency contraception available:

  • Emergency contraceptive pill – This is most effective if taken within 24 hours. However, is recommended to be taken within 72 hours of the encounter. You can acquire this from selected pharmacies or your GP. It is also available at most sexual health clinics (sometimes referred to as GUM clinics). It is not recommended that you take this method of contraception regularly as it is not as effective as normal contraceptive pills and is often more expensive.
  • An IUD (Intra uterine device, or "coil") – may be fitted if it is more than 72 hours (and no more than five days) after unprotected sex. This may not be suitable for everyone. Doctors and family planning clinics offer this service. An IUD works by making the womb an unpleasant place for a fertilised egg to attach.

 

Sexual Violence and Abuse Support

In an emergency, always dial 999. You can also log non-emergency police reports via the South Wales Police Website.
