Pills don't protect you against diseases. Continue using condoms to protect yourself from STD. If you are married or are in a committed monogamous relationship, wait at least two months.

Never. You should ALWAYS use condoms as pills do not protect against STDs or AIDs. Its only 99% effective so you COULD still get pregnant on the pill. Even the pill/condom combination you could get pregnant. Use protection for at least two weeks after starting the pill.

You shouldn't ever stop using them even with the pill. The pill is NOT 100% effective. You can still get pregnant if you're taking the pill. The pill also doesn't protect you against STD's at all, so be careful.

about a week, but you need to remember that the pill does NOT safeguard against STD's so unless your partner (or partners) have been tested and you know for sure that they do not have STD's you need to continue using condoms. The pill only protects against pregnancy, so keep that in mind.

read the instructions included in your first pack--it's usually it's most effective only after the completed first 28 days of pills

don't stop using condom.....birth control pills don't protect against, AIDs, herpes, yeast infections...etc.
I know men hate to use condom...but tough luck...your health is more important.
