title: [Contraceptive practices in France].
abstract: Between 20 and 44 years of age, in France, two women out of three use contraception; 41% use oral contraception, and 16% the IUD; 5% use condoms, and sterilization remains uncommon. Since 1988, when some information was made about the AIDS epidemics, condoms have become widely used, as a temporary method, especially by young people and people not living as a couple; 59% of women and 83% of men aged 20-24 ever used condom, and half of the women who had their first sexual intercourse during the two last years used condoms.
