A member asked:
What is better in your opinion, birth control or condoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: Condoms are better (not perfect) at preventing stds, compared to birth control methods like pills, etc - which don't provide any protection from stds, but birth control (pills, shots, iuds, rings, implantable rods) is much better at preventing pregnancy than condoms alone.
