Which CONTRACEPTIVE method protects most effectively against SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS (STIs) like HIV/AIDS?
ABarrier methods such as the condom
BOral contraceptive pills taken daily
CIntrauterine devices (IUD) like copper-T
DSurgical methods (tubectomy or vasectomy)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Barrier methods such as the condom
The barrier method (condom) is the only contraceptive that also protects against STIs by preventing exchange of body fluids. Oral pills, IUDs, and surgical methods prevent pregnancy but offer NO STI protection.
