Understanding about what kind of barrier method or birth control you are looking for is important. There are many different kinds of each and it can feel overwhelming. Don't fear! We are here to help. Not all types of birthcontrol protect against STIs, and not all forms birth control are made equal. It's important to talk to your doctor about which might be the best for you.
Bedsider provides detailed descriptions of all types of contraceptives and barrier methods, answers questions, and contains informational videos and testimonials. Check out their birth control method explorer.
There is a $0 copayment for all generic prescription contraceptives and brand name products that have no generic equivalent. Visit the HUSHP website for more information.
