Yes. Plan B, Postinor etc, if taken within 72 hours of sex is about 95% effective. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex : https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
