Key points
- A person may weigh safety, effectiveness, side effects, reversibility, and ease of discontinuation when choosing a contraceptive method.
- Most contraceptive methods do not protect against sexually transmitted infections including HIV; condoms and pre-exposure prophylaxis can help fill that gap.
- Contraceptive methods should be selected through voluntary, informed choice.
