Sexual Health and Birth Control

Sexually transmitted infections

You can get tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis or HIV free of charge in Sweden.

The Lund STI Clinic (STI-mottagningen) is located at the University Hospital "Hudhuset" building at Lasarettsgatan 15. This is near the main University Library.

To book an appointment, call 046 17 11 65 from Monday - Friday 9:00-12:00 and 13:30-16:00. When you call there is a long Swedish message, followed by information in English.

You can also get tested for chlamydia at the Student Health service in Lund. To book an appointment call 046 222 43 77 and press 2.

Birth control pills

To get a prescription for birth control pills, you see a midwife (barnmorska) at a Midwife Centre (Barnmorskemottagning). (Note that this link takes you to a Region Skåne webpage that is in Swedish, but you can select the city you wish to find a midwife in using the "I vilken kommun?" ("in which municipality?") box with drop down options. The list of results display below the box - you should see the Lund results automatically when you click on the above link).

The morning after pill

The "morning after pill” is available over the counter from a pharmacy (Apoteket). This pill can be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex in order to prevent pregnancy, although it does not protect against any STIs.

Projekt Sex (P6)

Projekt sex (P6) is an independent student organisation that works with STI, HIV and pregnancy prevention as well as sex and relationship questions among students in Lund. The P6 website includes information about sexual health in both English and Swedish.
