It is not necessary to give antibiotics before IUD insertion. When IUD insertion is done correctly, there is little risk of infection for healthy women, and antibiotics are not necessary for IUD insertion. In any case, most recent research suggests that antibiotics do not significantly reduce the risk of PID.
