The risk for blood clots while using hormonal contraception is for women who smoke.
For women who do not smoke, the pill is extremely safe and effective. Pills are prescribed for many conditions that are related to hormones in women who are-- and are not--currently sexually active, including regulating menstrual cycle, regulating menstrual periods, and even for acne.
This really is not an opinion question; are you asking about the effectiveness of the pill on controlling acne, or about misconceptions of how the pill would change her sexuality? (hint: it doesn't!).
What role do you play in this young woman's life, and what are her concerns or questions?
