Yes. You can get plastic-based ones.

You have a bigger problem than condoms.
First use the plastic based condoms, ask your pharmacist for a recommendation. As always, no glove no love!
Your other problem, your latex allergy. Do you also react to band aids? You need to talk to your doctor and she/he can arrange for you to be tested. An unknown latex allergy can be a life threatening condition in an ER or in surgery. If you know about it and can tell the staff no problem, however in an emergency it doesn't always work out that way. If you are allergic and are being treated it is no big deal they just use latex free materials. These are much more expensive which is why staffs reach for the latex containing tray first.
Talk to your doc, good luck!

prob, they sell lambskin ones right next to all the rest of the ones, made by Trojan. that' what guys with allergy's use. I don't think they are just as effective as latex though. from site#2 below
As stated in their labeling, birth control pills, Norplant, Depo-Provera, IUDs, and lambskin condoms do not protect against STD infection. For STD protection, a male latex condom can be used in combination with non-condom methods.

Yep, you need to make sure that you don't come into contact with any latex, you should have it in bold print in all your medical charts, you should tell everyone when you go to the hospital you're allergic to latex as well.

If you are allergic to the latex then yes but if you are alergic to the substance they use to powder them then no, there are other condoms available for people alergic, i'm not sure what they are but i know they are out there because one of my friends has the same trouble

yes you probably are because they are both latex but if you really want to know the truth try asking a doctor you know or someone else that might know some about it

Yes, but the person who said to use the sheepskin ones is wrong. Sheepskin condoms do not protect against STDs.
