It's National Condom Week!

February 14–21 is National Condom Week — a time to raise awareness about condom use and to make sure people have all the facts about condoms.

Condoms used consistently and correctly provide the best protection against sexually transmitted infections for sexually active individuals. They also protect against unintended pregnancy.

Latex condoms have been scientifically proven to:

• Reduce the risk of pregnancy. Condoms are an effective, inexpensive over-the-counter form of birth control.
• Reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission. The condom is a highly effective barrier against HIV infection.
• Reduce the risk of other sexually transmitted infections. Condoms significantly reduce the risk of getting or passing many other sexually transmitted infections.
