A member asked:

I would like to find out about an iud and where i would go to get one inserted ? or should i consider a different form of birth control?

Planned parenthood: If you have access to a gynecologist, please see her/him. If not ,go to the local planned parenthood clinic. An injectable or depot hormonal birth control is also available. You may also consider regular birth control pills. Practice safe sex and get HIV vaccine.
