In the past, the onus was on the woman and men didn’t have much choice in contraceptives. However, a male contraceptive jab now could be as effective at preventing pregnancies as the female pill or condoms. The monthly testosterone injection for males will not only revolutionize birth control, but will also give more choices and enable men to take a greater share of the responsibility for contraception. But there is another side to the coin, as it could lower the condom use and increase the possibilities of sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS in particular.

It is not necessary that it will increase the STDs but yes it can increase the chance of getting caught

I don't think if people get proper awareness, they'll catch STDs

As a woman I would love this and I trust my man completely.
I think this is a great development for men to be able to take control of their own fertility. Now men as well as women will be able to reliably prevent pregnancy to the best of their abilities. Especially in a long term relationship messing with condoms is.... well messing about.

I agree but in the conservative countries, i doubt how many men will agree to get these injections. Its hard to convince men here.
I don't think it would lower condom use as very few men will be willing to get the injections
I'm not messing with my hormone levels. I'll stick with rubbers...
While i see this medical break through as a boon to females as it has asked the male counterpart to share the burden of avoiding unwanted pregnancies but i think it is mostly for the partners who are in a permanent relationship and not for the ones who look for casual sex or one night stands. So saying that this measure will increase STDs and lower the use of condoms, does not seem valid to me.
Hell yeah. People in general are not honest about their sex lives.
I don't think that it would increase the risk of STDs because people will keep on taking measures to prevent such diseases but yes this can be an additional benefit for Indians to control the population of this country and according to me should be made mandatory for all men till the time their wives demand a child.
