Contraception Myths and Facts

Use the information card and your health knowledge to sort facts from myths. Contraception is used to help prevent pregnancy. Condoms can also reduce the risk of many sexually transmitted infections (STIs). No method is perfect; a health professional can give personal advice. You do not need to share personal experiences.

Quick reference card

CONTRACEPTION: Condoms are a barrier method and help reduce the risk of pregnancy and many STIs when used correctly every time. Hormonal methods, such as the pill, implant and injection, help prevent pregnancy but do not protect against STIs. Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), including implants and intrauterine devices (IUDs), is highly effective at preventing pregnancy. Emergency contraception can reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It works best as soon as possible; options and time limits vary, so ask a pharmacist or health professional promptly. In Australia, a GP, sexual health service or pharmacist can provide confidential, reliable information. People can choose not to have sex; consent must be freely given and can be withdrawn at any time.

Myth or fact?

For each statement, decide whether it is a myth or a fact. Choose the most accurate response.

Choose and explain

Apply the reference card to these everyday scenarios. Give a clear reason for each answer.

6.Kai wants to reduce the risk of both pregnancy and STIs. Which method from the card is relevant, and what is one important reminder?
7.A friend says, “An implant protects against STIs, so condoms are unnecessary.” Correct the misinformation using the reference card.
8.A condom broke, and the people involved want to find out whether emergency contraception is an option. What is a sensible next step in Australia?
9.Name two reliable places in Australia where someone can ask a contraception question, and give one reason to seek trustworthy advice.
10.Write a respectful, accurate two-sentence reply to this message: “I’m unsure about contraception, but I don’t want to talk about private details in front of friends.”
