Condoms are the *only* birth control method that offer protection against pregnancy and STIs. So even if you're using another form of contraception that prevents unintended pregnancies (like an IUD or the pill), it's best to double up and use a condom too. ✌️
The birth control shot (aka the Depo shot) is an injection given every 3 months to prevent unintended pregnancies. It's safe, private, & convenient as long as you remember to get it on time. Interested in talking to a health care provider about Depo? Visit SafeTeens.org to find a health center near you. 🌟
