Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A condom is the best method of contraception for a patient with genital herpes as it provides a physical barrier and helps to reduce the risk of transmission of the disease to sexual partners. Other methods such as birth control pills, IUDs, or spermicidal jelly do not provide protection against the spread of the virus. Tubal ligation is a permanent form of contraception and may not be appropriate for a young female patient who may desire future fertility.
