The only 100% effective method of birth control and protection against sexually transmitted infections and diseases is abstinence. Depo-Provera is about 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, but is not effective against STIs. Oral contraceptives are about 95% to 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, but are not effective against STIs. The rhythm method is only about 75% to 99% effective in preventing pregnancy and is not effective against STIs.
