Questions to Consider when Choosing a Method of Birth Control

• Will you remember to use the method?
• Will you feel comfortable with the method?
• Do you want a method to protect you for a short time or a long time?
• Is the method embarrassing to you or your partner?
• Will you still use the method if it interrupts sex?
• Are you afraid of the method or its possible side effects?
• Will it protect you from Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV?

Remember, condoms are the best protection against STIs/HIV. Condoms can be used with other methods of birth control to protect against STIs/HIV.
