Don condoms prevent pregnancy and STDs?

0

Condoms are not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy and STDs. Condom failure rates are higher for adolescents than adults. “Failing” refers to leaks, breaks, and incorrect or inconsistent use. Condoms are greatly effective in preventing HIV/AIDS when used correctly and consistently but provide little or no protection from genital herpes, chlamydia, and human papillomavirus (HPV). The only way to be 100% protected from unwanted pregnancy and STDs is for both partners to abstain from sexual activity until you’re in a committed lifelong adult relationship.
