Do I need a condom if I’m on the pill or Depo shot?

YES! The hormonal birth control pill and the Depo shot can prevent pregnancy but DO NOT protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). You must still use a “barrier method” like a latex condom, female condom, or dental dam (oral sex) to prevent STIs.
