Information about birth control and barrier methods

You are very good friends with David and Rosa.  David is a junior and a good student. Rosa is a sophomore and is also a good student.  She hopes to be an airline pilot one day. David and Rosa met over the summer at a party hosted by a mutual friend.  They have been dating for five months. They began having sex a few weeks ago. They both say they are “in love” with each other. David has had two previous sexual partners before Rosa. David is Rosa’s first sexual partner. Rosa discusses almost everything with her best friend Jennifer, including her relationship with David. Rosa heard from Jennifer that birth control pills can make girls get fat, and she also heard something about birth control pills causing cancer. David and Rosa are using condoms … most of the time. They definitely do not want to get pregnant; it’s just that sometimes they run out or sometimes they just don’t feel like using them.
