Alternatives to condoms

Alternatives to condoms for preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) include hormonal methods like Birth Control pills, patches, and injections, which primarily prevent pregnancy but do not protect against STIs. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are another option for long-term contraception. Additionally, dental dams can be used for oral sex to reduce the risk of STIs. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to choose the best method based on individual needs and circumstances.
