This paper summarises the public health rationale for multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) by examining recent epidemiological data and trends in sexual and reproductive health indicators. MPTs are products that combine protection against unintended pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. The successful introduction of new woman-controlled MPTs provides a compelling response to the multiple sexual and reproductive health risks that women face worldwide.
