Do condoms protect acgains STDs?

Answer 1

The only method that protects 100% of the time is abstinence! Some people say that condoms are only about 96% effective in protecting against STDs... but, isn't 96% BETTER than no protection whatsoever? So, you have a choice:
1. Abstinence: 100% effective
2. Condoms: 96% effective
3. No protection: 0% effective

An unwanted pregnancy is not the only thing to worry about... it's also what can happen to you for the rest of your life, and how long the rest of your life will be... some of those STDs are real killers and they do not discriminate!

Very simple, if you do NOT know the person well enough to trust them with your life savings, why would you trust them with your life? Do whatever you must to protect yourself.

Answer 2

If used correctly (which means that a quality tested condom is placed on the penis before there is any genital contact and there is no contact between the base of the penis and the vagina) it will protect against a lot of diseases very effectively - especially HIV and things like syphylis.

It helps reduce transmission of STDs such as genital warts and herpes - but nothing can protect you 100% from such diseases.

There is no better method of protection from STDs except for abstinance. However genital warts and herpes can both be carried by people who have never had sex.

Answer 3

If you choose to be sexually active, make sure you protect yourself against Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). If you think that you’re not at risk, think again. Every year, STDs impact millions of people in the U.S. And a significant amount of all STDs happen to young people. In fact, half of all people with HIV were infected before they were 25. STDs may have no visible symptoms, so you or your partner may not even know you have one. STDs can be painful. They also can make you or your partner sterile, or lead to serious health problems, even death. No one is immune from every STD.

Using latex condoms each time and every time – the right way – can help reduce your risk of getting or giving an STD. During sex, using a latex condom is the only way to help protect yourself and your partner against HIV/AIDS. Condoms can help reduce your risk of pregnancy, too. Today’s condoms are designed to bring you protection, pleasure and freedom from worry. They’re easy to find and easy to use. No more excuses – it’s your body, your life and your choice. Protect yourself and your partner from STDs. Be smart. Use a latex condom every time you have sex – and use it correctly.

Remember, if you have more specific questions relating to the diagnosis or treatment of STDs, talk with a medical health professional immediately.

Answer 4

The only way to protect yourself against STD's is to not have sex in the first place. No other method is fool proof...

Answer 5

Most latex ones do, but some, like lambskin, don't. Always read the package and be careful. There always is some chance that the ones that should protect don't do the job 100%

Answer 6

They could help, but they are not even 100% against getting pregnant. You know they can always tear! Best is to know your partner and better yet get a clean bill of health befoer being intimate with anyone!

Answer 7

They don't fully protect you, nothing but abstinance does. Talk to your partner and find out their condition ahead of time. If you're close enough to have sex, then you should be close enough to talk. And if you care about each other, you should be obligated to share that information.

Answer 10

They do, but they are not 100% effective against them. If you're worried, get yourself and your partner tested!
