    Contraceptive use and the risk of sexually transmitted infection: Systematic review and current perspectives

    The authors reviewed the evidence on the association between contraceptive use and sexually transmitted infections and bacterial vaginosis published over the last 10 years. Few data are available from prospective studies.

Respondents believed the intervention reinforced these behaviors, although they were not generally aligned with the formal intervention content and were sometimes contrary to the intervention’s goals.
