Should he use a condom if she’s on the pill?

Posted by CollegeSutra.com on Sep 24, 2009 in Safer Sex

If she is on the pill/hormonal birth control is it still necessary for him to wear a condom?

Many feel using the pill or other forms of hormonal birth control is adequate. If used perfectly (at the same time each day, every day), they’re about 98% effective against pregnancy. But using either in conjunction with a condom is more effective, especially if you occasionally forget to take the pill. And hormonal birth control doesn’t prevent STIs, whereas condoms do.
