Hookup Tip by Armani

It’s great that you’re protected against pregnancy… Now it’s time to protect yourself against STDs too!  Condoms are a great way to protect against both pregnancy and STDs. Here are some quick facts about condoms that you might not have known (and reasons why you should use them in addition to your other birth control methods):

  • When it comes to HIV, using a condom makes sex 10,000 times safer!  Condoms are also the most effective way to prevent Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HPV, Hepatitis, Herpes, and Syphilis.
  • Condoms don’t require a doctor’s visit or a prescription, so they’re one of the more easily accessible and affordable forms of birth control.
  • Condoms come in all types of styles, sizes, textures, and flavors.  So don’t be embarrassed to purchase what you want!
  • But don’t forget that condoms are only effective when you use them correctly, each and every single time!
