Question

• Why do people use condoms?

Answer

• Condoms are used prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

• Condoms are the only contraception that protects people from sexually transmitted infections as well as pregnancy.
• Pills, implants, patches, IUDs (coils) and all other forms of contraception are used to prevent an unplanned pregnancy, but they do not protect you from STIs. They are not ‘barriers’ between partners like condoms are.
