<\/p>\nContraception refers to all the methods that prevent pregnancy. Choosing your contraception is a personal decision, and to help you make the right choice, it’s best to seek assistance from healthcare professionals (doctors, gynecologists, pharmacists, or even school nurses).<\/p>\n
Contraception is just as much a concern for girls as it is for boys! So, the most important thing is to talk about it together BEFORE engaging in sexual activity.<\/p>\n
There are many contraception methods available. Think there’s only condoms and the pill? Well, there’s also the patch, the implant, the intrauterine device (IUD), and the female condom…<\/p>\n
(Place the following definitions in expandable bubbles that open when the mouse hovers over the word)<\/p>\n
– Condom (Capote): A latex male condom that is unrolled onto the man’s penis. It comes in various sizes.<\/p>\n
– Pill (Pilule):Hormonal tablets to be taken every day at the same time. There are different types.<\/p>\n
– Patch (Patch): A patch that adheres to the skin.<\/p>\n
– Implant (Implant): A small rod inserted under the skin of the arm, placed by a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n
– IUD (St\u00e9rilet): An intrauterine device in the shape of a T placed inside the uterus by a healthcare professional. There are hormonal and non-hormonal (copper) types.<\/p>\n
– Female Condom (Pr\u00e9servatif f\u00e9minin):** Comprising a sheath with two rings at the ends, it is inserted into the vagina before intercourse.<\/p>\n

A quick reminder, the only contraception methods that protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are condoms, both male and female!<\/p>\n\n
