  1. Lesson 2 Quiz Time – Presentation A

  2. Q1. If a woman has sex during her period the chances of her getting pregnant are non-existent FALSE • It is unlikely that a female would become pregnant during her period, however … • sperm can survive 4-7 days inside the female body, increasing the chances of pregnancy • some females have shorter menstrual cycles and menstrual cycles may be disrupted (e.g. by stress) so it’s not possible to predict the time point of her next ovulation

  3. Q2. You can’t get pregnant the first time you have sex FALSE • It is possible to get pregnant if sperm comes into contact with the vagina, whether it is the first time you have sex or not • More than 85 out of 100 sexually active females who are not using any contraceptive method will get pregnant within one year1 • Reference: • Trussell J. Contraceptive efficacy. In: Hatcher RA, Trussell J, Stewart F, Nelson A, Cates W, Guest F, Kowal D. Contraceptive Technology: Nineteenth Revised Edition. New York, NY: Ardent Media, 2007.

  4. Q3. You can’t get pregnant if the male withdraws before he ejaculates FALSE • This method frequently fails because small drops of sperm may escape from the penis into the vagina before the male ejaculates. If the withdrawal method is used typically 27% of women will get pregnant within one year1 • Reference: • Trussell J. Contraceptive efficacy. In: Hatcher RA, Trussell J, Stewart F, Nelson A, Cates W, Guest F, Kowal D. Contraceptive Technology: Nineteenth Revised Edition. New York, NY: Ardent Media, 2007.

  5. Q4. The chance of a woman getting pregnant is one in two million if she only has sex once or twice FALSE • 85 out of 100 sexually active females will become pregnant within a year if they are not using contraception1 • There is a chance of getting pregnant every time sperm comes into contact with the vagina • Reference: • Trussell J. Contraceptive efficacy. In: Hatcher RA, Trussell J, Stewart F, Nelson A, Cates W, Guest F, Kowal D. Contraceptive Technology: Nineteenth Revised Edition. New York, NY: Ardent Media, 2007.

  6. Q5. If the condom tears during sex, I am still protected because condoms contain a substance that kills sperm FALSE • Very few condoms are lubricated with spermicide (a chemical that kills sperms). According to research they have no additional benefit in preventing pregnancy2 • If the condom tears or splits you are not protected against an unplanned pregnancy or a STI. Replace the torn condom with a new oneand visit your doctor or local clinic for emergency contraception within the next few hours Reference: 2. Condoms: Extra protection. ConsumerReports.org (February 2005). Retrieved on 2006-08-06.

  7. Q6. Wearing two condoms provides double the protection against unplanned pregnancy and STIs FALSE • Wearing two condoms doesn't work. One may rub against the other and may either come off or split. Wearing two condoms doesn't double your protection, it doubles the chances of something going wrong • Also, you should not use oil-based lubricants with condoms either. It weakens the rubber and could cause them to split

  8. Q7. It is unlikely you will get a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) under the age of 25 FALSE! • Since the 1990s, the number of STIs has remained at a high level in most countries3 • Worldwide, the largest proportion of STIs is believed to occur in people younger than 25 years4 References: 3.

  9. Q8. You don’t have to sleep with lots of people to get an STI True • You are at an increased risk if you have a number of sexual partners, but anyone can be at risk if they have unprotected sex • If you are not sure about whether you or your partner has an STI, you will need to go for a check-up • There are 340 million new cases of curable STIs (syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis) estimated worldwide every year3 • Many millions of incurable viral STIs, including an estimated 5 million HIV infections, occur annually5 • Remember – some STIs might not cause symptoms, but some can still damage your reproductive system, which could mean you cannot have children later in life, and in severe cases some can be life threatening References: 3.

  10. Q9. The contraceptive pill interferes with the female reproductive system, so she may not be able to have children later False • The pill is completely reversible, and fertility quickly returns to normal when it is no longer taken • There is a range of pills, and also other types of hormonal contraception, available • The pill works by mimicking the action of hormones that occur naturally in the body • Some pills contain a combination of oestrogen and progestin, which act by preventing an egg being released each month and also thicken the mucus of the entrance to the womb, making it difficult for sperm to get through • Other pills contain progestin only, and work by thickening the mucus of the entrance to the womb and changing the lining of the womb. Some may also prevent ovulation.

  11. Q10. Which are the most effective forms of contraception? • References: • Trussell J. Contraceptive efficacy. In: Hatcher RA, Trussell J, Stewart F, Nelson A, Cates W, Guest F, Kowal D. Contraceptive Technology: Nineteenth Revised Edition. New York, NY: Ardent Media, 2007 • Trussell J. Contraceptive efficacy. In: Hatcher RA, Trussell J, Stewart F, Nelson A, Cates W, Guest F, Kowal D. Contraceptive Technology: Eighteenth Revised Edition. New York, NY: Ardent Media, 2004

  12. Q11. Where can you get contraception and how old do you have to be? • Insert national details for: • Where to get various types of contraception from, e.g. healthcare professionals, family planning clinics, specialist clinics, pharmacies • If you have to pay for the contraception • Legal age of consent for having sex • Age at which you can obtain contraception with and without parental consent

  13. Q12. How do you know if you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI)? • Common signs of STIs are:8 • Unusual discharge of liquid from the vagina or penis • Pain or burning during urination • Genital itching, rashes, lumps or blisters • Pain or bleeding during or after sex • However, symptoms can vary from infection to infection and many STIs have no obvious symptoms (e.g. some chlamydia and gonorrhoea) • Patients may also have more than one infection at any one time • ONLY a test will confirm if you have a STI Reference: 8. http://www.fpa.org.uk/helpandadvice/sexuallytransmittedinfectionsstis
