Yes, sometimes you can get condoms for free. Most sexual and reproductive health care clinics provide free condoms, although some will ask you to pay a reduced-cost for them, such as a dollar for three condoms. You don’t even need an appointment to get condoms at a clinic! Just call first and ask if they have some available for free or low-cost.

Some high schools also provide condoms in their school-based health centers, or the school nurse, social worker or health teacher may be able to direct you to a place nearby that provides them. In addition, condoms are usually free on college campuses. Call the on-campus health center and ask where you can walk in and pick up free or low-cost condoms.
