Question
I'm 17 and I live with my step-dad. I haven't had an exam in 5 years and I have been sexually active. I want to have one but I don't have health insurance or any money to pay for it. I think something might be wrong with me, so what do I do?
Answer
In most states you are entitled to confidential services about reproduction and we recommend that you go to a Planned Parenthood, there is usually a teen clinic and you can get free services.
