A member asked:

Can you have condom-less sex while on the depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If your only concern is pregnancy, this may be reasonable after you have been on the shot for a while.However, if there is even a remote chance of passing a STD , even from a prior relationship, a condom is still a good idea.
