Which is the best type and most effective contraception/birth control?
Abstinence (no sexual contact between partners) is 100% effective in preventing an unplanned pregnancy. If you have chosen to be sexually active and do not wish to become pregnant, there is a wide range of choices …. some are easier to use than others and each differ in how well they work. Birth control methods work very well to prevent pregnancy provided that they are used correctly and consistently. Remember, even with a reliable contraceptive method, it is recommended to always use a condom to protect yourself against a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Twenty-five percent (25%) of young women who have intercourse without using a method of birth control will become pregnant within one month. “It can happen to you” so choose and use a method that you’re comfortable with and one that you can depend upon.
