Condoms
What is a condom?
A condom is a thin, stretchy cover that is worn on a man’s penis during sex to help prevent pregnancy and protect against infections. Using a condom is a simple and effective way to stay safe during sex.
How does condom work?
You put it on before sex, and it acts as a barrier to keep sperm from reaching the egg and to block germs that cause infections.
Who can use condoms?
Anyone who is sexually active can use a condom. This includes men, women, and people of all sexual orientations.
Benefit of condoms
- Contraceptive – the physical blockade that makes sure that fertilization does not occur.
- Protects individuals from sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS.
