The practice of abstaining from sexual intercourse, a highly effective method of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

Any method used to prevent pregnancy, ranging from temporary (condoms, pills) to permanent (vasectomy, tubal ligation).

A method of birth control that prevents conception by blocking sperm from entering the uterus.

A thin rubber sheath worn over the penis during intercourse to prevent sperm from entering the vagina.

A dome-shaped rubber cap inserted into the vagina and placed over the cervix, preventing sperm from entering the uterus.

A small device inserted into the uterus by a doctor, preventing sperm from fertilizing the egg or preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine lining.

A method of birth control that involves abstaining from sexual intercourse during the fertile period of a woman's menstrual cycle.

Hormonal medications, usually taken orally, that prevent ovulation and release of an egg by mimicking the body's natural hormone cycle.

A chemical substance, often inserted into the vagina, that kills or disables sperm before entering the uterus.
