A member asked:

How many days do you have to take tri-sprintec (birth control pill) before its active and you no longer have to use condoms? been taking it 11 days...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At least a cycle: With any bcp you should use additional protection for at least one month. After that time, you can be more confident in the contraceptive effect but i would still recommend using condoms to protect against sexually transmitted diseases. The birth control pill cannot protect you from sexually transmitted infections including hiv. Hpv. Also recommend hpv vaccine series.
