Why use them?
Condoms Prevent Disease and Pregnancy
NYC Condom Media Campaigns
Using a condom every time you have anal, oral or vaginal sex protects you and your partners from getting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as chlamydia, genital herpes, hepatitis B and syphilis, and prevents unplanned pregnancies.
Although nothing except not having sex provides 100% protection, condoms are approximately 95% effective in preventing STDs and provide protection against pregnancy. But better safe than sorry—use another form of birth control (such as the pill, IUD, diaphragm, Depo-Provera) and a condom for greater prevention against both pregnancy and STDs.
Birth control methods such as the pill, IUD and diaphragm alone do
not protect you from getting HIV and other STDs. |
