People living in Missouri can request free emergency contraceptive kits through the Missouri Family Health Council. Each kit contains two doses of levonorgestrel (Plan B or morning-after pill), condoms and lube, sexual education and consent resources, and information about affordable healthcare providers.

To order a kit from Missouri Family Health Council, visit MFHC.org/For-Patients. The emergency contraceptive kits are mailed in discreet packaging and arrive in 5-7 business days. They are meant to be ordered in advance of when they could be needed and kept on hand.

Kits will also be available at St. Louis City’s Health Stop Testing and Referral Center Mondays through Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (closed 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.) and in Room 4027 on Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

In addition, emergency contraceptive kits are available at all three St. Louis County Department of Public Health locations, and at the St. Louis Country Sexual Health Clinic. 

Take-home kits for self-testing for sexually transmitted infections are available at other St. Louis locations, including the St. Louis One Stop Health Clinic. St. Louis Planned Parenthood may also offer low-cost STI testing to uninsured St. Louis residents. You can confidentially find out if you qualify by calling (314) 531-7526.

To learn more about contraceptive and sexual health education resources in the St. Louis region, visit the St. Louis County website and the St. Louis City website on sexual health resources.

It has not been announced how long these programs will last.
