Is there any 100% sure protection against STD?

Question

Plese dont answer abstinence or self pleasuring. How safe is a properly used condom. I have read somewhere that is only 97% sure. Is is true?

Answer 1

According to the CDC:

"The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases is to abstain from sexual intercourse, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and you know is uninfected. For persons whose sexual behaviors place them at risk for STDs, correct and consistent use of the male latex condom can reduce the risk of STD transmission.

However, no protective method is 100 percent effective, and condom use cannot guarantee absolute protection against any STD. Furthermore, condoms lubricated with spermicides are no more effective than other lubricated condoms in protecting against the transmission of HIV and other STDs. In order to achieve the protective effect of condoms, they must be used correctly and consistently.

Incorrect use can lead to condom slippage or breakage, thus diminishing their protective effect. Inconsistent use, e.g., failure to use condoms with every act of intercourse, can lead to STD transmission because transmission can occur with a single act of intercourse. While condom use has been associated with a lower risk of cervical cancer, the use of condoms should not be a substitute for routine screening with Pap smears to detect and prevent cervical cancer.

There are two primary ways that STDs can be transmitted. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as well as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis – the discharge diseases – are transmitted when infected semen or vaginal fluids contact mucosal surfaces (e.g., the male urethra, the vagina or cervix). In contrast, genital ulcer diseases – genital herpes, syphilis, and chancroid – and human papillomavirus are primarily transmitted through contact with infected skin or mucosal surfaces."

Answer 3

No there is not. If you are under the age of 26 and have never had sex you should seek out the vaccine Guardisil to help protect against H.P.V. which is in epidemic preportions in the US over 20million young women have it and it causes almost all cervical cancers at a very young age. Condoms do not protect against HPV ( the virus that causes Genital Warts ). Go and talk to a doctor about STD's. Herpes can aslo be transmitted even with condom use. Also you have to remember oral activities can spread many STD's. I wish I had a cheerier answer. I wish sex could be anxiety free.

Answer 4

If you don't touch anyone else's body your are about 99.9% guaranteed not to catch an STD.

You could still get something though from toilet seats, sharing a razor, stepping on a needle in a park. Life is full of surprises.
