QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Secondary Analysis of VOICE: Injectable Contraception and HIV Risk
ثبت نشده
چکیده
1. What exactly are injectable contraceptives, specifically DMPA and NET-EN? DMPA, or depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, and NET-EN, short for norethisterone enanthate, are contraceptives that contain a kind of hormone called progestin. Both are given by injection. DMPA (widely known by its marketed name Depo-Provera) is administered every three months, while NET-EN (or Noristerat) is given every two months. Both types of injectable contraception are highly effective for the prevention of pregnancy and typically more effective than oral contraceptive pills. DMPA is widely used throughout the world; NET-EN is available in fewer countries so its overall use is less common. There are other types of injectable contraceptives as well.
