Answer #1

Actually… condoms are good but not a 100% guarantee against STDs

According to a 2004 bulletin from the World Health Organization and a 2001 report by the US National Institutes of Health, individual studies found condoms reduced the risks for: genital herpes by 30-92 percent in women, less in men (no figure given); gonorrhea by 49-75 percent in men, 39-62 percent in women; chlamydia by 26-90 percent in women, 33 percent in men; pelvic inflammatory disease (resulting from gonorrhea and chlamydia infection) by 55 percent; trichomoniasis by 30 percent in women, with significant reduction in men (no figure given); syphilis by 40-60 percent in both sexes; and genital ulcers (chancroid) by 18-23 percent.

There is no evidence that condoms prevent human papilloma viruses (HPV), which can cause cervical cancer but are usually killed by the immune system. Studies have shown condoms reduced risk of genital warts caused by HPV by 30 percent in women and about 40 percent in men, and they reduce the risk of cervical cancer in women.

you should no this already but you CANNOT get any stis or stds if you wear a condom …it doesnt matter if its small, extra large, thin, extra thing, flavoured, coloured, ect a condom is a condom its the only thing that will protect against both unwanted pregnancy and sti/stds oral sex however can transmitt some of them but if you didnt already know this perhaps get more sex education before you go off having sex

Answer #5

ok thanx but I have no intention of having sex. it was just a question

Answer #6

right ^ so why are we hearing about this just now?!

Answer #7

what the… Condoms are not 100% guaranteed to protect you from getting an STD or transmitting one.

The best idea is to ask a doctor about how to stay safe.. not from someone that doesn’t know what they are talking about unless it was from a site they just passed by…
