 "Condoms are the vaccine we've been waiting for."

Proper use of condoms is the key to reduce unplanned pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted infections such as HIV/AIDS .Do remember “Condoms are inexpensive compared to costly HIV and AIDS medications".

With so many efforts from around the world for easy access to condoms ,sexual education from school level, subsidies, free supply from authorized centers etc, yet little attention is paid to whether people understand how to use condoms in the first place.Common perception "Using a condom is no rocket science.”However,It involves the use of a condom, while negotiating the condom use and sex with a partner all at the same time. There is a complex triad of the sex act, condom use and partner dynamics that must constantly be navigated by condom users."

Improper condom use is a global health problem. 

Recent researches show, based on 50 articles representing 14 countries from around the world on condom habits and issues, including the use of female. The most common errors causing condom failure & unplanned pregnancies included:

• ·         Not using condoms throughout sex.
• ·         Not leaving space or squeezing air from the tip of the condom.
• ·         Putting condoms on upside down.
• ·         Incorrect withdrawal.
• ·         Other problems included breakage, slippage, leakage, and difficulties with fit and feel.

 Making condoms accessible is important, but it is more important to improve clinic-based counseling and public education efforts. This involves talking openly about topics that many people find embarrassing, such as erections, semen, lubricant and other aspects of sex. In this case, embarrassment can cost individuals' health and lives.
