Use condoms correctly and consistently

Correct and consistent condom use can reduce the risk of HIV infection by 95% or more. That's reason enough to get into the habit. Here are some more facts about condom use.

-- The use of latex condoms during vaginal sex is effective in preventing HIV infection and several other sexually transmitted diseases, but is not as effective as hormonal contraceptives or IUDs in preventing pregnancy.

-- For some STIs, like genital herpes or genital HPV, it's not known how much protection condoms really provide.

-- All condoms are 100% tested for defects. But, like rubber bands, latex condoms deteriorate with expiration. If properly stored, they should stay good until the expiration date printed on the wrapper of each condom. Plastic condoms are less likely to degrade even in poor conditions that would harm latex.

-- Condoms may be transparent or opaque, tinted, nipple-ended, rippled, studded, contoured, dry, powdered, or lubricated. Novelty condoms be sure they protect against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

Safe sex is healthy, rewarding and fun. Not only will you reduce your risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection, or an unplanned pregnancy, but you and your partner will feel more comfortable and enjoy the moment.
