Get it On (GIO) is the condom distribution scheme running across Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton. If you are under 25 you can get free condoms from lots of different organisations. Even if you are under 16 years old you can still join the scheme.

A GIO Condom-Card (C-Card) is a 2 sided wallet sized card that looks like this:
Think of your GIO C-Card as a loyalty card that allows you to get free condoms from participating Get It On venues. These venues include Pharmacies, GP surgeries, youth groups and sexual health clinics.
All you need to do is show your GIO C-Card at a GIO venue and you'll be given free condoms. We need to see your GIO C-Card so that we know you have spoken to a trained worker. You can do this 12 times before your card runs out, then you will be given a new card.
If you are 16 or over and live in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth or Southampton you can order free condoms direct to your door via your Personal Health Record.
This is a private and confidential service and condoms are dispatched in a plain postmarked envelope within 10 working days from us receiving your order.

Contraception is used to prevent an unplanned pregnancy.
Some of the things you might want to think about when choosing your contraception are:

Whether you want to become pregnant soon, many years away or not at all.
There are several different types of contraception that can prevent an unplanned pregnancy. The Contraception Choices website provides honest information to help weigh up the pros and cons.
If you have symptoms, you will need to attend a clinic. Please use our clinic finder or call 0300 300 2016
