This thread discusses the effectiveness of condoms in preventing STIs, common mistakes in condom usage, and the importance of regular testing and open communication about sexual health.
Condoms are highly effective against HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomoniasis, and Hepatitis B.
Condoms do not fully protect against Herpes, HPV, and Syphilis due to skin-to-skin transmission.
Correct condom usage is crucial, including checking the expiry date, using water-based lube, and proper disposal.
Regular STI testing is essential because symptoms can be silent or take weeks/months to appear.
Open communication with partners and limiting the number of partners are vital for sexual health.
Improper condom usage reduces effectiveness.
Condoms don't fully protect against skin-to-skin STIs.
STIs can be asymptomatic, leading to unknowingly spreading the infection.
Shame and lack of open communication hinder prevention efforts.
