  • 2. 

    Which birth control lasts for five years?

    • The patch

    • IUD

    • Depo

    • Sponge

    Correct Answer
    A. IUD
    Explanation
    The IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a form of birth control that can last for up to five years. It is a small device that is inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider. The IUD works by preventing fertilization of the egg and also changes the lining of the uterus, making it less receptive to implantation. This long-acting contraceptive method provides effective and convenient protection against pregnancy for an extended period of time without requiring daily or monthly administration.

    If you are sexually active, you should get tested every three-six months, and after every possible exposure (meaning, after unprotected sex). 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is important for sexually active individuals to get tested regularly to ensure their sexual health. Getting tested every three to six months allows for early detection and treatment of any sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Additionally, getting tested after every possible exposure, especially after unprotected sex, is crucial as it helps identify any potential risks and allows for timely intervention. Regular testing helps individuals stay informed about their health status and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their partners.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Many people who have an STI don’t have any obvious symptoms or signs

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Many people who have an STI may not experience any noticeable symptoms or signs. This can be concerning because it means that individuals may unknowingly transmit the infection to others without realizing it. It is important to practice safe sexual behaviors, such as using condoms and getting regular STI screenings, even if there are no apparent symptoms. This is because some STIs can still cause long-term health complications if left untreated. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of the possibility of having an STI, even in the absence of obvious symptoms.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Dual protection is the most effective protection.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Dual protection refers to the use of two methods of protection against unwanted consequences or risks. By using two methods simultaneously, the chances of failure or vulnerability are significantly reduced. Therefore, it can be concluded that dual protection is indeed the most effective protection as it provides an added layer of security and minimizes the likelihood of any potential harm or damage.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Emergency contraception can only be prescribed by a doctor. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Emergency contraception can be prescribed by a doctor, but it is also available over-the-counter without a prescription. This means that individuals can obtain emergency contraception directly from a pharmacist or other healthcare providers without needing to see a doctor. Therefore, the statement that emergency contraception can only be prescribed by a doctor is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Withdrawal is an effective method to use considering there is no possible way for any semen to enter a woman's vagina. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Withdrawal is not an effective method of contraception because it relies on the man pulling out before ejaculation to prevent semen from entering the woman's vagina. However, this method is not foolproof as small amounts of semen can be released before ejaculation, increasing the risk of pregnancy. Therefore, the statement that withdrawal is an effective method considering there is no possible way for any semen to enter a woman's vagina is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Check which methods protect against STIs:

    • IUD

    • The patch

    • Male condom

    • The ring

    • Female condom

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Male condom
    A. Female condom
    Explanation
    Male condoms and female condoms are both methods of barrier contraception that provide a physical barrier between the penis and vagina, preventing direct contact and reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These methods are effective in protecting against STIs because they prevent the exchange of bodily fluids, including semen and vaginal secretions, which can contain STI-causing organisms. The IUD, patch, and ring are not specifically designed to protect against STIs and do not provide a physical barrier, making them less effective in preventing the transmission of STIs.

    Spermicide is the same as the sponge. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Spermicide and the sponge are not the same. Spermicide refers to a contraceptive substance that is used to kill sperm and prevent pregnancy, while the sponge is a barrier method of contraception that is soaked in spermicide and inserted into the vagina. They serve different purposes and have different forms, making the statement false.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The patch is typically applied once a week. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement indicates that the patch is typically applied once a week. This implies that the patch is meant to be used on a regular basis, with a frequency of once a week. Therefore, the correct answer is True, as it aligns with the given information.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The Family Planning method--a method when a couple has sex according to non-fertile times during the month--is a safe method for teens and young adults to use. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The Family Planning method, which involves having sex during non-fertile times, is not necessarily a safe method for teens and young adults to use. While it can be effective in preventing pregnancy when used correctly, it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Therefore, it is important for teens and young adults to use additional methods of protection, such as condoms, to reduce the risk of both pregnancy and STIs.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which methods must be applied/placed/done by a doctor?

    • IUD

    • The shot

    • Female condom

    • Family planning

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. IUD
    A. The shot
    Explanation
    A doctor must be responsible for applying/placing the IUD and administering the shot. These methods require medical expertise and should be performed by a healthcare professional. The IUD is a small device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy, and the shot is an injection of hormonal contraception. Both of these methods require proper placement and administration to ensure their effectiveness and safety.

    Women can only get pregnant during ovulation: 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Women can only get pregnant during ovulation. This statement is false. While ovulation is the most fertile time for women to conceive, it is not the only time. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive system for up to five days, so if intercourse occurs a few days before ovulation, there is still a chance of pregnancy. Additionally, irregular menstrual cycles and other factors can affect the timing of ovulation, making it possible for women to conceive outside of their expected ovulation window.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Check which options are hormonal methods of birth control: 

    • The patch

    • The pill

    • The sponge

    • The shot

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The patch
    A. The pill
    A. The shot
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the patch, the pill, and the shot. These three options are all hormonal methods of birth control. The patch is a small adhesive patch that releases hormones into the body to prevent pregnancy. The pill is a daily oral contraceptive that contains hormones to inhibit ovulation. The shot, also known as Depo-Provera, is an injection that provides a high dose of hormones to prevent pregnancy for several months. The sponge, on the other hand, is a barrier method of birth control and does not involve hormones.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Check which STIs can be passed to another person even while using condoms: 

    • Crabs

    • HIV

    • Lice or scabies

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Crabs
    A. Lice or scabies
    Explanation
    Crabs, also known as pubic lice, can be passed from one person to another even when condoms are used because they can be present in the pubic hair area, which may not be covered by the condom. Similarly, lice or scabies can also be transmitted through close body contact, which may not be completely prevented by condom use. HIV, on the other hand, is effectively prevented by using condoms correctly and consistently.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Check all that are true about emergency contraception:

    • It is also referred to as "the morning after pill."

    • It is also referred to as "the plan B pill."

    • It may be taken only within 24 hours.

    • It is considered safe to take as often as possible.

    • It may be taken within 72 hours.

    • It contains a large dose of hormones.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. It is also referred to as "the morning after pill."
    A. It is also referred to as "the plan B pill."
    A. It may be taken within 72 hours.
    A. It contains a large dose of hormones.
    Explanation
    Emergency contraception, commonly known as "the morning after pill" or "the plan B pill," is a form of contraception that can be taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It contains a high dose of hormones that work to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, fertilization, or implantation of a fertilized egg. It is not meant to be taken as a regular form of contraception and should only be used in emergency situations.
