Question 137498 • DBN MI Health

Evelyn and Adam have been dating for a while and have decided to start engaging in sexual activities. They are both committed to engaging in this behavior with only each other. They know that picking the right protective methods is important. Which questions should they ask themselves to help them make the right preventative choice? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Is Evelyn good at remembering to take medication each day?
B
Would they like to have children in the near future?
C
Is this the first time either of them has had sex?
D
Could either of them unknowingly have an STD?
E
Are either of them allergic to latex or polyurethane?
F
Are they going to engage in other sexual activities as well as intercourse?

Explanation

They should consider whether a daily medication is practical, whether they want children soon, the possibility of an undiagnosed STI, allergies to barrier materials, and whether they need protection for sexual activities besides intercourse. These factors help them choose contraception and STI-prevention methods that fit their needs. Whether this is the first time either person has had sex does not by itself determine which protective method is right.
