Benefits of Condom !
Condoms are the only contraceptive method that can protect against both pregnancy and s*xually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV transmission, when used for vaginal, oral, or a**l s*x. In order for condoms to be most effective they must be used correctly and consistently (with every act of s*x). The risk of pregnancy or contracting s*xually transmitted infections is greatest when condoms are not used correctly with every act of s*x.
When used correctly and consistently, condoms are 98% effective in preventing pregnancy. This means that when used consistently and correctly, about 2 of every 100 women whose partners use condoms become pregnant over the first year of use.
Condoms do not have holes that HIV can pass through. In fact, when used consistently and correctly, condom use prevents 80% to 95% of HIV transmission that would have occurred without condoms. Plastic condoms are expected to provide the same protection as latex condoms, but they have not been studied thoroughly. Condoms made from animal membrane DO NOT protect against HIV and other STIs.
