Condom use among young women in Australia using long-acting reversible contraceptives or other hormonal contraceptives

Julie Nguyen, Henrietta Williams, Kathleen McNamee, Nabreesa Shaffeu, Alaina Vaisey, Jane Hocking Condom use among women using long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) or non-LARC hormonal contraceptives is the most effective way to protect against unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmissible infections (STIs). In women attending a sexual and reproductive health clinic in Australia, we found that condom use was low and did not vary between women using LARC or non-LARC hormonal contraceptives. Condoms must be promoted prescribing contraceptives to reduce STI risk.
