Birth control options and effectiveness

Birth control options
Play it safe. Know your birth control options.

Sexual activity can be enjoyable and fulfilling as long as the proper precautions are taken. These days, there are a variety of birth control options available – designed to suit your and your partner’s individual needs and lifestyles.

Keep in mind, sexual activity may also increase your risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections or diseases (STIs or STDs). Add a condom to your birth control routine to help lower your chances of contracting STIs.
