Although condom users concerned about preventing pregnancy and infection have been advised to use them along with the spermicide Nonoxynol-9, two recent studies have challenged this practice.
For the average condom user over a year, the chances of becoming pregnant while using a condom are 1 in 6.
The highest percentage of condom users were men aged 20 to 24; of this group, 73 percent said they regularly used condoms.
Rubber industry workers and condom users are also at increased risk for developing a latex allergy.
Researchers found consistent condom users have about a 30% lower risk of contracting genital herpes than those who never used condoms.
If it did, it would point out to kids that they are notoriously inept condom users.
If condom users are branded as immoral, it will drive the epidemic back underground.
The typical use pregnancy rate among condom users varies depending on the population being studied, ranging from 10-18% per year.
