Many women are not using the morning-after pill the right way. Around 50% prefers the morning-after pill as a contraceptive method, followed by 40% that prefers condoms. Many women are risking sexual infections because the morning-after pill does not protect against diseases such as herpes or chlamydia, which many wrongly believe. The NHS spent two million pounds on the morning-after pill last year and each year there are about 500.000 new cases of sexual transmitted diseases. The morning-after pill should be the last option to end an unwanted pregnancy and not a contraceptive method.

It is shocking that apparently so many women do not know how to use the morning-after pill and that they even believe that it protects against sexual transmitted diseases. There should be more information about having save sex and the use of contraceptive methods. Women need to be aware of the risks of not having save sex, especially the risks about getting herpes or chlamydia. Probably many people do not talk about the risk of getting these diseases because they are ashamed of it. If we do not talk about it though, things, like described in the article, happen.
