If you are on the implanon for birth control do you need to use condoms or can you use the birth control alone to prevent pregnancy?

Implanon: Implanon is adequate to prevent pregnancy but it provides no protection against STDs. You need to use condoms to decrease the risk of STDs. Hope this helps.

Implanon alone works: The contraceptive implant alone prevents pregnancy. Adding condoms adds a tiny bit of additional protection, but has the added benefit of protection against sexually transmitted diseases, and perhaps makes vaginal odors less likely.
