Pregnancy is a life-changing event. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) – and there are now more than 20 – can rob you of your
health and even your life. Condoms do not eliminate these dangers. About 15% of adults who use condoms to prevent pregnancy find themselves pregnant over the course of a year. Despite condom use, there remains a 15% risk of sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS, a 50% risk of chlamydia (a cause of female infertility) and a significant risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) (cause of cervical cancer). Some STDs can be passed on by skin-to-skin contact in the entire genital area, only part of which is covered by a condom. How effective are condoms at preventing pregnancy and STDs?
