<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.
