Do long-term contraceptives protect me from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or HIV?
No, long-term contraceptives do not provide protection from STIs or HIV. It is recommended that you use a condom consistently and correctly unless both you and your partner have been tested and have no STIs and are only having sex with each other. More information about using condoms consistently and correctly can be found on the Women’s Health website.
