In non-committed relationships, or in the early days of a relationship, surely it's sensible to use condoms anyway - as much for protection against STDs as for having to trust that your partner isn't lying when she says she's using a contraceptive.
I might be an outlier and I've also got the benefit of free health care and sexual health clinics being in the UK, but it seems like sensible practice to not stop using condoms until you've both had an STD screen - which takes all of ten minutes plus a week to get results - just to be safe. Especially since it's possible to have an STD while also being unaware of it.
