A member asked:
If you are on the impalaon for birth control how much extra protection do condoms give besides stds ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nexplanon alone 99+%: Nexplanon (formerly Implanon) is over 99% effective at preventing unintended pregnancy for entire three years of indicated use. However it does not prevent STIs. Use male or female condoms if need to prevent STIs; not needed for extra pregnancy prevention.
