This method is sometimes referred to as the morning after pill, but this is misleading as it can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex. EC does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. EC can be used when a condom breaks, after a sexual assault or any time unprotected sexual intercourse occurs. Do not use EC as your only source of birth control if you are sexually active because it is not as effective as any ongoing contraceptive method.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about EC:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.planbonestep.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plan B<\/a>\u00a0is an emergency contraceptive that can still prevent a pregnancy after contraceptive failure, unprotected sex or sexual assault.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Resource Links<\/h2>\n<p>Links for women\u2019s health and information about STD\u2019s and HIV:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CDC STD Site<\/a><br \/>\nInformation about sexual transmitted diseases (STD) from the Centers for Disease Control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashastd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">American Social Health Association<\/a><br \/>\nASHA provides information with a focus on preventing sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STD\/STIs) and their harmful consequences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Information on pregnancy options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pregnancyoptions.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pregnancy Options Workbook<\/a><br \/>\nA workbook of options including abortion, adoption and birth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Information on human sexuality:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.siecus.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SIECUS Publications<\/a><br \/>\nThe Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States\u2019 (SIECUS) website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Routine Gynecological Care The nurse practitioner will perform a basic gynecological exam with a pap smear and testing for HPV (Human Papilloma Virus).
