Valentine’s Day marks the first day of National Condom Week. Condoms used consistently and correctly provide the best protection against sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy for sexually active individuals.
While myths about condoms abound, the truth is clear: Latex condoms have been scientifically proven to
* Reduce the risk of pregnancy. Condoms are an effective, inexpensive over-the-counter form of birth control.
* Reduce the risk of HIV transmission. The condom is a highly effective barrier against HIV infection.
* Reduce the risk of other sexually transmitted infections. Condoms significantly reduce the risk of getting or passing many other sexually transmitted infections.
Celebrate National Condom Week by making safer sex a priority every time you have sex.
Thank you and now go have fun over the long weekend!
