CONDOMS

Can prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV/AIDS when used correctly and consistently.
When condoms are needed to prevent STIs/AIDS, many couples use them along with other family planning methods.
Easy to use with a little practice.
Effective if used correctly every time. However, usually only somewhat effective because some men do not use condoms all the time.
Some people object that condoms interrupt sex, reduce sensation, or embarrass them.
