A member asked:
During the one week when i do not have the contraceptive patch on, can i have unprotected sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Along with the birth control from your patch, you also should use condoms for STD protection. The other factor is that people are not always as predictable as we'd like- the egg and the sperm can both have longer viability and can cause pregnancy when you don't expect it. That's a low probability, but still possible.
