select whether it prevents pregnancy, prevents std/stis or both. * 15 points prevents pregnancy prevents std/stis prevents both does not prevent pregnancy or std/stis abstinence fertility awareness method withdrawl male condom female condom sponge diaphragm/cervical cap the pill the patch the ring the shot the implant the iud vasectomy tubal ligation

Explanation:

• Abstinence: By avoiding sexual intercourse, it prevents both pregnancy (no sperm - egg union) and STD/STIs (no exchange of bodily fluids).
• Fertility Awareness Method: It helps in predicting fertile periods. By avoiding intercourse during fertile times, it can prevent pregnancy. But it does not act as a barrier against STD/STIs.
• Withdrawal: Involves removing the penis before ejaculation. It can reduce the chance of pregnancy (but not completely as pre - ejaculate may contain sperm). It does not protect against STD/STIs.
• Male Condom: Acts as a physical barrier. It can prevent pregnancy (by blocking sperm) and also prevent STD/STIs (by blocking the exchange of infected bodily fluids).
• Female Condom: Similar to the male condom, it is a barrier method. It can prevent pregnancy (by blocking sperm) and STD/STIs (by blocking the exchange of infected bodily fluids).
• Sponge: It contains spermicide and covers the cervix. It can prevent pregnancy (by killing sperm and blocking the cervix). But it does not protect against STD/STIs.
• Diaphragm/Cervical Cap: These are barrier methods (cover the cervix). They can prevent pregnancy (by blocking sperm). But they do not protect against STD/STIs.
• The Pill, The Patch, The Ring, The Shot, The Implant, The IUD: These are hormonal or intra - uterine methods. They work on preventing ovulation (for hormonal methods) or creating a hostile environment for sperm/implantation (IUD). They prevent pregnancy but do not protect against STD/STIs.
• Vasectomy: It is a surgical procedure that cuts and seals the vas deferens. It prevents pregnancy (no sperm in ejaculate). But it does not protect against STD/STIs (as it is a post - sperm - production procedure and does not act as a barrier).
• Tubal Ligation: A surgical procedure that blocks the fallopian tubes. It prevents pregnancy (no egg can reach the uterus for fertilization). But it does not protect against STD/STIs.
