Tubectomy is a surgical method of contraception in females as it involves the cutting and ligation of the fallopian tubes to prevent the released ovum from moving down to reach the uterus. In addition, it also prevents the sperm from reaching up to the female gamete, thus fertilisation is prevented. There are almost no side effects to tubectomy.

Oral contraceptive pills contain either progestogens alone or a combination of both progestogens and estrogen. Pills help in contraception by inhibiting ovulation and implantation.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes genital warts. It is characterised by appearance of small, flesh-coloured bumps on the genital area.

AIDS can be transferred to a healthy individual when body fluids of an infected person come in contact with that of a healthy person and not by mere handshake or hugging an infected person.
