The level of condom use remains low. Though condoms as a contraceptive has three advantages with a high level of effectiveness.
In addition to prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), condoms can also be used as contraception to prevent pregnancy and to improve the effectiveness of other contraceptive methods. As is known, all family planning methods, even sterilization, has a failure rate. Therefore, to use a condom effectiveness can approach 100 percent.
"We strongly recommend the use of two methods of contraception to provide more effective protection. To maximize women condoms will prevent pregnancy and protect sexually transmitted infections," says Anne Foster-Rosales, of Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, the United States.
Most people infected with STDs do not realize they are infected. Hence the current use of condoms is more intended to reduce the risk of STIs including HIV / AIDS.
