condoms

According to the US Centers for Disease control, when used properly, latex condoms help reduce the risk of transmission of HIV (AIDS) and many other sexually transmitted diseases.

Open condoms carefully!
Do not use teeth or scissors.
Do not use after expiration date.
Make sure the condom package is air tight.

NEVER use oil-based lubricants like hand cream, Vaseline, or Crisco. ALWAYS use a WATER-BASED lubricant like KY Jelly, ID Glide or WET.

Using condoms or lube with nonoxynol-9 may irritate the genital region and create another pathway for HIV and other STD's to enter.
