Welllllll. . . there's the obvious answer that using contraceptives reduce the risk of pregnancy. Also reduces the risk of STD's.

I'm not sure what the poster above me has been taught about birth control, but "contraceptive" just means anything that prevents pregnancy...so all methods: condoms, pills, IUDs, diaphragms, sponges, tubal ligation, etc., are methods of contraception. And some (condoms) DO prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Not sure why in this day and age, "contraceptive" has come to mean "birth control pill only."

Only barrier methods (e.g. condoms, dental dams) prevent the transmission of STDs, when used correctly.
Regular birth control pills/IUD/patch/implant prevent pregnancy 99% of the time when used perfectly, about 90% of the time when used typically. However, they do not prevent STDs.
