Curiosity about trying;
Peer and partner pressure;
Some thoughts or myths like “It only happens to other people” or “You

problem”.

6. Condom
It’s one of the safest methods when it’s used
correctly. It provides an efficient protection
against pregnancy and STD’s.
The pill
It stops ovulation, disturbs the fixation of the egg in the
endometrium and alters the vaginal mucous, making it
difficult for the passage of the spermatozoa. It’s 98%
effective.
These are things that man or woman can do or use to avoid
pregnancy when they have sex.
Other methods of contraception are: the female condom, the intrauterine
device, the mini-pill, hormonal injections, the patch, the vaginal ring and the
spermicide.
