Are condoms effective 100%?
No type of condom 100% effective in prevents pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). But if you and your partner are having sex, properly used condom will protects against STDs better.
For those having sex, condoms must always be used to protect against STDs, even when using another method of birth control. They must be used correctly and must be used every time you have sex. Even when used correctly, condoms do not protect against infections spread from sores on the skin not covered by a condom (such as the base of the penis or scrotum).
Using a condom correctly doesn’t only mean putting it on right side out. You should also:
- Check the expiration date (condoms can dry and crack if they’re old).
- Choose condoms made of latex, which is thought to be most effective in preventing STDs. If one of you has an allergy to latex, use polyurethane condoms instead.
- Only use water-based lubricants with condoms. Shortening, lotion, petroleum jelly, or baby oil can break down the condom.
- Keep condoms away from heat and light, which can make them more likely to break.
- Open the condom packet with your hands, not your teeth, and open it carefully so you don’t tear the condom.
- Choose a condom with a reservoir tip to catch semen after ejaculation. Lightly pinch the top of the condom and place it at the top of your (or your partner’s) penis. This gets rid of trapped air, which can cause a condom to burst.
- Roll the condom down until it’s completely rolled out — if it’s inside out, throw it away and start over.
- When you’re done, you (or your partner) should withdraw while holding the condom at the base of the penis to prevent the condom from slipping off.
Although condoms can’t 100% safe, but it is the best way to prevent STDS/AIDS if correctly used.
