What do condoms prevent?

Condoms are effective in preventing:

- Pregnancy: Condoms provide a physical barrier that blocks sperm from reaching the egg during sexual intercourse.

- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Condoms can help prevent the transmission of STIs, including HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, and syphilis, by forming a barrier between the infected area and the partner's skin or mucous membranes.
