That being said, I'm glad more options are being explored.
- girvo 12y agoThat's what I'm looking forward to. Being able to have more control over contraception without using condoms is great (I'm in a long term relationship with my very loving girlfriend, but we still worry at times) IMO. What I'm interested in is whether this implantable chip will take off, considering that IIRC oral contraceptives are still used far more than other types (like the injections or the implant) despite being less effective?
- farmdve 12y agoYou know, condoms aren't solely used as a contraceptive, there's thing called...HIV, you may have heard of it. Not to mention various other STDs.
- girvo 12y agoYes, I do know that which is why I qualified my own personal situation.
- XorNot 12y agoDepends on your definition of "effective". Oral contraceptives can be forgotten, but implants have more side-effects and a fairly catastrophic failure mode (the implant is done improperly -> proceeds to do nothing).
