- An [wiki:WikiPedia:Intrauterine_device Intra Uterine Device (IUD)] is a small object that is inserted by a doctor through the cervix and placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is generally only available only to women who have already had at least one child due to uterine size restrictions. As with hormonal birth control, they do not provide any protection against ["STDs"], so it's a good idea to keep using condoms unless you are sure of you and your partner's status. In fact, they are considered most appropriate for people in a long-term monogamous relationship due to an increased risk of infection. They have both spermicide and ovicide activity, meaning that they destroy eggs and sperm before they meet each other, and they also interfere with sperm motility. For these reasons IUDs can also be used as "Morning After" interventions with equivalent if not greater effectiveness than plan B.	+ An [wiki:WikiPedia:Intrauterine_device Intra Uterine Device (IUD)]) is a small T shaped device that is inserted by a health care provider through the cervix and placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
