What Health Checks Do I Need From 10 to 19? My Personal Health Timeline

Growing Body & Preventive Health

If something feels unsafe or urgent

You can always get help, whatever your age, without an account.

Between 10 and 19 you need a handful of simple checks: growth and blood pressure, vaccines, mental-health check-ins, and — once you are sexually active — HIV and STI testing.

What's happening

Adolescent healthcare is mostly prevention. A yearly visit that takes 20 minutes catches iron deficiency, high blood pressure, vision problems, mood difficulties and missed vaccines long before they become serious.

Usually normal

Yearly height, weight and blood pressure checks
HPV and tetanus vaccination during school years
HIV testing every 6 to 12 months once sexually active
A mental-health check-in as part of a normal visit

Get checked if

A breast lump, or bleeding between periods
Losing weight without trying
Persistent tiredness, headaches or breathlessness

Your next step

Build your health timeline: write down your last vaccine, your last clinic visit and your last HIV test, then book whichever is overdue.
