c*ndoms and s*xually Transmitted Diseases

It's important to use c*ndoms (rubbers, prophylactics) to help reduce the spread of s*xually transmitted diseases (STDs). These diseases include the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis. You can get them through having s*x -- ******l, anal, or oral.

The surest way to avoid these diseases is to not have s*x altogether (abstinence). Another way is to limit s*x to one partner who also limits his or her s*x in the same way (monogamy). c*ndoms are not 100% safe, but if used properly, will reduce the risk of s*xually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. Protecting yourself against the AIDS virus is of special concern because this disease is fatal and has no cure.
