A member asked:

How large of a chance is there that you get pregnant if you pull out with a correctly used condom?

Dr. Erinn Huffman answered

Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

15%: Condoms are about 85% effective, which leaves a 15% chance that you could get pregnant, even when used correctly. Condoms are the only method to prevent infections and hiv. So even if you switch to a more reliable method of birth control, condoms are still a good idea.
