How much protection do condoms provide?

We are going to keep this week’s blog short and sweet: what condoms do and do not protect against.

Do offer good protection against:

• Pregnancy
• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhoea
• HIV
• Hepatitis
• Mycoplasma
• Ureaplasma
• Trichomonas
• Gardnerella

Do not offer protection for:

• Genital warts on an area not covered by the condom
• Herpes if there is a lesion on an area not covered by the condom
• Syphilis if there is a chancre on an area not covered by the condom
• HIV and Hepatitis is you have a cut on an area not covered by the condom
