In most<unk> n countries, only a few types of birth<unk>  are offered, which makes finding a method that fits a couple's reproductive needs difficult. Many<unk> n countries had low access scores on almost every method. In the 1999 ratings for 88 countries, 73% of countries offered condoms to at least half their population, 65% of countries offered the pill, 54% offered IUDs, 42% offered female sterilization, and 26% offered male sterilization. Low levels of condom use are cause for concern, particularly in the context of generalized epidemics in Sub-Saharan<unk> . The use rate for injectable contraceptives increased from 2% to 8%, and from 8% to 26% in Sub-Saharan<unk> , while the rate for condoms was 5%–7%. The least used method of contraception is male sterilization, with a rate of less than 3%. 6%–20% of women in Sub-Saharan<unk>  used injectable contraceptives covertly, a practice more common in areas where contraceptive prevalence was low, particularly rural areas.
