<strong>WHY</strong> <strong>SHOULD</strong> I <strong>USE</strong> <strong>CONDOMs</strong>?<br />
Condoms provide protection against unplanned<br />
pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted<br />
Infections (STIs) — including HIV, genital<br />
herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia.<br />
They’re highly effective but don’t affect a<br />
woman’s body — condoms are a healthy<br />
choice for sexually active people who care<br />
about themselves and their partners.<br />
WHEN <strong>SHOULD</strong> I <strong>USE</strong> CONDOMS?<br />
Condoms are the best way for sexually<br />
active people to protect themselves and<br />
their partner against pregnancy and STIs.<br />
You should use them every time you have<br />
sex, and before there is any contact<br />
between the penis and your partner’s body.<br />
Remember, fluid released from the penis<br />
during early stages of an erection can contain<br />
sperm and organisms that can cause<br />
sexually transmitted infections. However, no<br />
method of contraception can provide 100%<br />
protection against pregnancy or STIs.<br />
Try using a scented condom to put extra fun<br />
into sex, but only use a condom once. If<br />
you are using a condom for oral sex, make<br />
sure you change the condom before penetrative<br />
sex. Additionally, remember that<br />
non-vaginal use of condoms can increase<br />
the potential of the condom slipping off or<br />
be<strong>com</strong>ing damaged.
WHAT WILL MY PARTNER THINK?<br />
Neither you or your partner want to risk<br />
unplanned pregnancy or infection — having<br />
sex should be fun and free from worries.<br />
Condoms are a popular and highly effective<br />
form of contraception, and have the added<br />
benefit of helping protect against STIs. Your<br />
partner will think you’re being responsible<br />
by wanting to stay safe.<br />
Choose the right moment to discuss it —<br />
before you get caught up in the heat of passion!<br />
It’s not always easy, but remember that<br />
your partner may be trying to get up the<br />
courage to talk about it with you too!<br />
CAN WOMEN CARRY CONDOMS?<br />
Absolutely — women are increasingly the<br />
ones who buy condoms and carry them<br />
around. You’re just being well prepared and<br />
responsible — thinking about protecting<br />
yourself and your partner.<br />

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO<br />
KNOW ABOUT CONDOMS?<br />
• Keep condoms in a cool, dry place — they<br />
can be damaged by heat or sunlight and<br />
could be<strong>com</strong>e unreliable if used.<br />
• Check the expiration date on each condom<br />
• Use a new condom every time you have sex<br />
• Don’t use oil-based lubricants with latex<br />
condoms — they will damage them<br />
If you’ve had unprotected sex or an accident<br />
with your contraception and you are worried<br />
about getting pregnant, contact your local<br />
health department, private doctor, or clinic.<br />
If you are concerned about STIs, go to<br />

free or low-cost services.
