If a victim requires the use of a condom or birth control, does it imply they have given consent?

The correct answer is that the requirement of a condom or birth control signifies self-protection. When a victim insists on the use of a condom or birth control, it indicates their desire to take precautionary measures regarding their health and safety. This need for protection does not automatically imply consent to engage in sexual activity.

Consent must always be explicit and clear. The use of contraceptives or barriers indicates that the individual is considering potential outcomes, such as pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections, but it does not equate to an agreement to engage in sexual acts.

Other options may incorrectly suggest that the presence of a condom or birth control could indicate consent or depend on external factors, which overlooks the importance of clear and affirmative consent in any sexual context.
