<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 />

www.iwannaknow.org for more information<br />

or contact your local health department for<br />

free or low-cost services.
