A 28-year-old woman presents to the family planning clinic requesting a non-hormonal, long-acting reversible contraceptive that also provides protection against sexually transmitted infections. Which method best meets her requirements?

• A Copper-T 380A IUD
• B Levonorgestrel-releasing IUS (Mirena)
• C Diaphragm with spermicide
• D Male latex condom ✓

Explanation

No single method provides both long-acting reversible contraception and STI protection. The male latex condom is the only listed method that provides reliable protection against STIs. Copper-T and LNG-IUS are long-acting but offer no STI protection. The diaphragm offers limited STI protection at best and is not long-acting.
