Our recent publication, Providing Contraception for Young People During a Pandemic is Essential Healthcare, was written in response to the sudden shift towards low-contact or no-contact medicine in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ensuring access to contraception is essential as every 6 months of lockdown can result in 47 million women losing access to contraception, resulting in an additional 7 million of unintended pregnancies. We welcome the letters submitted by Alouini/Venslauskaite and Uzoigwe/Ali as they exemplify common misperceptions within the medical community about contraception. The question of whether a physical exam is required prior to a contraception prescription, the safety of emergency contraception, and abstinence counseling are addressed below.
