No. Only condoms reduce the risk of both pregnancy and HIV infection. Birth control pills, the birth control patch, Norplant, Depo-Provera, intrauterine devices (IUDs), diaphragms, and any birth control methods other than condoms do not provide protection against HIV. You should use a latex male condom or a female condom for HIV protection along with any other method you use to prevent pregnancy.
