Yes, you can be on birth control and use a condom. Actually the doctors say you are supposed to still use a condom while on birth control because neither are 100% effective. STD's aren't prevented from birth control so if and when you decide to have sex, make sure he wears a condom, even if you are on birth control.

Of course you can be on birth control and use a condom! In fact, it's reccommended. Birth control pills can only protect you from pregnancy, while condoms also protect you from STDs. And you can NEVER be too safe.

Yes you can, and it's a REALLY good idea. The condom helps with protecting from STD's & pregnency & the brith control helps protect you from the pregnency also. It's a good idea :]

Yea actually it would be best if you did, that way you could prevent STD's. Plus birth control is only 92 to 99% effective. Condoms aren't 100% percent effective either, on preventing STD's or un planned pregnancies. So If you want a better chance of preventing STD's, unplanned pregnancies, etc. I would reccomend both!! It isn't a dumb question it is actually a very good one. Hope I answered your question.

It's advised you use condoms as well anyway, to prevent you contracting sti's/std's.

YESSSSS YOUUUUUU CANNNNNN and you dont have to really worrry about the consquencence with both if you use them right. BUT ONLY WHEN YOU READY

You should always use condoms. Birth control pills don't do anything to prevent you from getting STDs, and AIDs is still around.
My advice would be to just not have sex, there are a lot more issues that come with it, even if you're on birth control.

You can and it's actually a strongly recommended method of contraception. In Holland, it's known as 'going Double Dutch'. Condoms are between 92% and 95% effective and protect against pregnancy, STI's, STD's etc but if they break, they do nothing. However, the Pill is around 99.9% effective when taken correctly but doesn't protect against STI's or STD's. If you use both at once, you're as well protected as you can get.
