Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception is available, including appointment-based IUD options (Mirena or ParaGard), which are the most effective form of EC. You can also purchase $10 emergency contraception over the counter at the UHC Pharmacy, and it may also be available in wellness vending machines and select Blue Markets.
Pregnancy Testing
UHC can provide pregnancy testing during a visit. Some people prefer home pregnancy tests because they are often faster.

UHC offers family planning and preconception counseling to support your goals now or in the future. Medication abortion care is available up to 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Post-Sexual Assault Support (Trauma-informed Care)
UHC offers trauma-informed post-sexual assault services in an affirming and inclusive environment. This includes any testing and treatment you may need.
Safer Sex Supplies
Safer sex supplies, including free condoms and other materials, are available through Wolverine Wellness on the ground floor of the University Health Service building. Stop by to pick up supplies and learn about additional sexual health resources.
