When teens are educated about sexual health and have open communication with parents and health care professionals, they can make more informed, responsible decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. 

University of Miami Health System adolescent medicine specialists offer guidance to help your child develop healthy behaviors that ensure their well-being — and lower their risk of unintended pregnancies, HIV infection, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).


Who is a Candidate?

If your teenager is sexually active or you suspect they are, our adolescent medicine team can provide education and support to help them make informed, responsible decisions.


What to Expect

Your teenager meets with one of our adolescent medicine doctors who will provide health education and counseling about important sexual health matters in an age-appropriate and informative setting.

They will receive information to:

  • Prevent unintended pregnancy
  • Protect against STDs
  • Understand the physical and emotional changes during puberty 

Your child’s sexual health information will only be shared with you if they provide signed consent.
