A member asked:
Is it possible for you to protect yourself after unprotected sex?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Protect from what?: Sexually transmitted diseases? No, there are not redo's for this. Pregnancy? Emergency contraceptives are an option. The bottom line is that if you are going to have sex ; don't want pregnancies or std's - then use protection.

Post Exposure: So. Yes, for pregnancy. You have 72 hours to take emergency contraception. Yes, for hiv. If you are at risk for HIV you have 72 hours to get on a drug regimen to prevent infection. No for any other stds.
