There is only one sure way to combat STD's. Do not engage in sex at all. Any sexual activity, even that which is protected by condoms, can still provide a potential for the contraction of an STD.
Unless, while engaging in sexual activity, you use a latex or polyurethane condoms that are in perfect condition, there is the possibility of getting an STD, including syphilis, and HIV. Some studies conducted recently have even determined that the use of hormonal birth control pills may actually increase the potential for contracting HIV and other STD's. Other forms of condoms, like lambskin condoms, are porous, and will not completely remove the chance of contracting a STD.

So, it is not true and it is just a myth circulating among some people that birth control pills prevent STDs.
Birth control pills in one way or another never prevent STDs. An STD is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a virus that is normally transmitted during sexual contact. If one partner has any of these diseases the other person will most likely get the disease transmitted to him/her.
One of the best ways to avoid getting STDs is through abstinence. Some people find this difficult to practice and as an alternative they can opt to use a condom. This is by far the best way to prevent STDs.
