Question

select the correct answer.
which birth control method reduces the risk of pregnancy and protects from sexually transmitted infections?
a. birth control pills
b. condoms
c. diaphragm
d. vasectomy

Explanation:

• Birth control pills mainly work by preventing ovulation and do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• Condoms act as a physical barrier. They prevent sperm from reaching the egg (reducing pregnancy risk) and also block the transmission of many STIs (like HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea etc.) as they prevent direct contact of genital secretions.
• Diaphragms are placed in the vagina to cover the cervix and prevent sperm from entering the uterus. But they do not protect against STIs.
• Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilization. It does not protect against STIs.

Answer:

B. condoms
