A member asked:

I had sex on bc and took a plan b after bc of worry (perfect pill user). can i have unprotected sex again w/o bc pill effectiveness being compromised?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Nothing is 100% certain, but if you take your bc pills regularly, pregnancy is unlikely. If you have concerns about taking pills on time every day, you may consider an IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine. See this site for safer sex info http://www.aids.org/topics/aids-factsheets/aids-background-information/what-is-aids/safer-sex-guidelines/
