Testing ... Kelly Osbourne gets checked for STDs every three months / AP
The 23-year-old star - who is an ambassador for World Contraception Day - believes it is important to have regular check ups to ensure she stays healthy.
"I go three, maybe four times a year to get tested for sexually transmitted infections and most of the time I don`t even need to. I just go for peace of mind," she said.
"I am not the kind of person who talks about my sex life, but I am not afraid to talk about contraception.
Osbourne, who is currently dating model Luke Worrall, has urged her young female fans to undergo regular tests for sexual diseases and to always have safe sex.
"We need to protect ourselves against infection and unwanted pregnancy," she added to New! magazine.
"Girls - speak to your doctor, take the pill and use condoms."
Osbourne, who admits to previously having unprotected sex when she was drunk, also confessed she thought she was expecting a child when she was just 13.
"I convinced myself I was pregnant when I was 13 and I hadn`t even got my period," she said.
