Contraception

Contraception is used to prevent unplanned pregnancies...

Emergency Contraception

If you haven’t used any protection, the condom burst, or you forgot to take your pill, emergency contraception can prevent an unplanned pregnancy if you act fast. Emergency contraception is most effective when taken as soon as possible after 'unprotected' sex.

Condoms

Condoms are the only form of contraception that will protect you from most sexually transmitted infections

Sexually Transmitted Infections are infections that are passed between people during sexual activity

HIV
