Prevention of STIs and Pregnancy
Captions available
The idea
Condoms are the only method besides abstinence that prevents both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections; PrEP is medication that prevents HIV.
In practice
Hormonal methods and the IUD preventing pregnancy but not infections.
Where people slip
Abstinence is defined differently by different people, a caution for survey research; the course describes methods and gives no personal advice.
