A member asked:
Do you have to use condoms if someone has taken the depo shot?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends. If the person has been on the depo for a month or more, and is renewing the depo as normally scheduled, risk of pregnancy is minimal. If there is any risk of passing a STD the condom does provide some but not complete protection. All forms of BC have some risk of failure & all sexual encounters can pass germs. Double coverage has value in some settings.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Condoms provide additional protection against pregnancy and protect from some STDs. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
