How to Use Condoms Properly to Prevent Some Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Condoms are supposed to be designed, tested, and manufactured to never fail if used properly. Some would contest that there has yet to be a single documented case of an HIV transmission due to an improperly manufactured condom. However, such a claim would be very difficult to prove. There have been condom recall, as in a case in South Africa incident.
The proper use of a condom to prevent against Sexually Transmitted Diseases entails:
- Do not put the condom on too tightly at the end of the penis. Leave 3/4 of an inch or 1.5 cm of room at the tip of the condom to make room for the ejaculate. Putting a condom on too tightly can and often will lead to failure and the increased risk of passing on an STD.
- Putting a condom on too loosely can defeat the intended barrier of protection afforded by a condom.
- Once used, do not invert or spill the contents of a condom, whether it has ejaculate in it or not.
- Use only latex condoms. Condoms made of substances other than latex or polyurethane do not protect against HIV and other viral STDs
- Do not use oil based lubricants (or anything with oil in it) with latex condoms, as oil will break down the latex barrier
