EmergencyContraception
Emergency Contraception (commonly referred to as the Morning After Pill) is used to reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sexual activity (any sexual activity where an exchange of male/female fluids have been exchanged).
Emergency Contraception is commonly called the ‘Morning After Pill’ however there are several types of Emergency Contraception available and they all have different time lines for ideal use.
Emergency Contraception should be used as soon as possible after unprotected sexual activity and emergency contraceptive pills are most effective if taken in the first 24 hours after unprotected sex.
Emergency Contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or blood-borne viruses (BBVs). Practice safer sex by using condoms to reduce the risk of STIs and BBVs.
