Yes! And I'll say it again...using condoms with the pill is
not pointless! Trust me...HPV is very hard to detect because most people don't show symptoms, but if you happen to be one of those (un)lucky people who are susceptible to the strain that causes cancer it is a very big deal. I cannot stress this enough! Having surgery is not fun, guys. (Oh, and even though condoms aren't 100% at preventing HPV infection, they're a hell of a lot better than nothing, so just be safe.)
Also, I just think the pill plus condoms is a good idea. Sure, you can use condoms by themselves...but what if it breaks? I am a big fan of taking extra precautions.
