Contraceptive Myths and Realities Contraceptive Myths and Realities
Having trouble combating myths about contraceptives? What do you say to someone who believes that oral contraceptives collect in the body? Or that male condoms do not prevent HIV? The answers to these and over 60 other myths about contraceptive methods can be found at IPPF's Contraceptive Myths and Realties Database. For each myth, the database lists facts and counseling messages—examples of what counselors from various countries say to clients. Can't find a myth, or the answer to a myth? Have a counseling message to contribute? Send them to medtech@ippf.org or Kiran Asif for possible inclusion in the database.

(The content of the Contraceptive Myths and Realities Database was prepared by the INFO Project with technical review by IPPF.)
