Should An I-pill Be Taken As A Precaution?

I m an 18 year old virgin. Do you recommend taking an i pill, since there wasn t any penetrative sex involved but the genitals did come In contact, we re rubbed against each other. This happened less than an hour ago. Is it safe to take one pill just as a precaution?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I appreciate your concerns.

The preejaculate fluid (precum) does contain few sperms. As the genitals did come in contact ( even though there was no penetrative sex), there is a small possibility of pregnancy if this is your fertile period now. When was your last period?
Therefore take Ipill immediately. Ipill taken within 24 hours is 95% effective in preventing pregnancy. Ipill does not have any long term side effects. so don't worry.
Please consult your doctor and start using regular contraceptive pills. They are more effective than Ipill in preventing pregnancy.
If you think you are at risk of STD's barrier contraceptives like condom should be used during sex.

I hope this is helpful.

If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
