Yes, condoms are an effective form of birth control and prevention of sexually transmitted infections when used correctly. Additionally, they provide some protection against the transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, when used consistently and correctly. Latex-free condoms made of polyurethane are also available for those with latex allergies.

Yes, condoms are highly effective when used correctly. Condoms are about 98% effective at preventing pregnancy and help protect against the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). When used in combination with other methods of contraception, such as birth control pills or an intrauterine device (IUD), the effectiveness can increase up to 99.9%. Additionally, condoms can reduce the risk of transmitting STIs from one partner to another by providing a physical barrier that blocks contact between infected skin and uninfected skin during sexual contact.
