Abstract

Answer E. Male condom
Both male and female condoms reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Female condoms have reportedly more mechanical problems, such as slippage, breakage and incorrect penetration compared with male condoms. Diaphragm use has been associated with higher risk of acquiring human immune deficiency virus (HIV). Diaphragms and cervical caps are not recommended for patients who are at increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is not a barrier method.
