WOMEN’S HEALTH SERVICES

We offer confidential sexual-health services for women age 12 and older to help you get healthy and stay healthy. To receive these services, call us at 628-217-6600.
Our Women’s Clinic staff are specially trained in women's health issues and provide:
  • Family planning services
  • Pregnancy counseling, testing and referral services
  • Emergency contraception (“morning-after pill”)
  • Birth control, including Depo-Provera shots or prescriptions for the Pill, patch or ring
  • Sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk assessment and testing
  • Diagnosis and treatment of vaginal infections
  • Pap smears—uninsured women only (Please note: we can’t provide HPV testing)
  • Cervical colposcopy by appointment to women with abnormal Pap smears or women who require further medical evaluation or follow-up
  • Free HPV vaccines to women ages 18-45 without health insurance (eligibility is determined by our staff)
  • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention
  • Opportunities to participate in research studies
We do not perform abortions or provide long-acting reversible contraception like the implant or an intrauterine device (IUD). We can refer you to prenatal care, abortion services, or adoption services, if needed. We are also happy to talk with you about what type of pregnancy prevention method is best for you and refer you if you choose an implant or an IUD.

URGENT SEXUAL HEALTH CONCERNS

If you have symptoms of an STI, are concerned you may have been exposed to an STI or HIV, or need emergency contraception (also known as “the morning-after pill”), please come to the clinic anytime that we are open.

CONTRACEPTION

Some birth control options (condoms, Depo-Provera injections) are available at San Francisco City Clinic. If you choose oral contraceptives (the Pill), the contraceptive patch, or the vaginal ring (NuvaRing), we’ll give you a prescription that you can get filled at a local pharmacy.
To learn more about what contraceptive method is best for you, check out Bedsider.org.

APPOINTMENTS

Our Women's Clinic is Thursdays from 8 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.

If you have a non-urgent women’s health concern, such as requesting a Pap smear or you want to discuss family planning or contraception, we encourage you to make an appointment for our Thursday morning Women’s Clinic.

To make an appointment call 628-217-6600 to schedule. Drop-ins and same-day appointments are sometimes available but are not guaranteed.
