The main reasons which condoms fail are inconsistent or incorrect use

Male latex condoms reduce the risk of HIV and many other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) by reducing the chance of direct contact with another person’s semen, blood or vaginal fluids. But condoms do not provide 100% protection against HIV infection.

The main reasons that condom fail are inconsistent or incorrect use:

• Consistent use condoms means using a new condom every time you have sex. Never reuse a condom.
• Correct use includes putting the condom on and taking it off correctly and using a water-based lubricant with the condom to prevent breakage. Oil-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, cold cream, hand lotion or baby oil can weaken the condom, causing it to breakage.

For people who are allergic to latex, male condoms made of polyurethane are available. Polyurethane condoms can help to reduce the risk of getting HIV and STDs during sex. Female condoms are also made of polyurethane. Female condoms and male condoms cannot be used together at the same time. Email:[email protected]
