if i'm allergic to latex, what can i do about condoms? I'm on birth control pills but...?

I'm on birth control pills but I normally like to use condoms as extra protection. However, every time i used condoms I would get itchy and rashy and hives would appear. I talked with my doctor and she told me I had a latex allergy. What can I do about extra birth control now?

Thanks in advance for answers!

    Buy non-latex condoms.

    They are readily available as this is a common allergy.

    You can get lambskin condoms.. They don't protect again STIs or HIV but they do help prevent pregnancy.
