PREVENCIÓN DE ENFERMEDADES DE TRANSMISIÓN SEXUAL Y SIDA MEDIANTE EL USO DEL CONDÓN

Résumé 0

"Thispaper deals with the last literature and examines the most relevant studies of recent years related to condom effectiveness in preventing sexually transmitted diseases (STD) with experimental, epidemiological and seroconversion models. On the basis of these studies, it can be stated that the eficacy of condoms is close to 100 per cent when used correctly and consistently. Condom breakage has been reported in 05 per cent of vagina1 intercourse and 3.6 to 10 per cent of anal intercourses. Most studies refer low failure ratesdue to manufacturing defects. Considering all constraints involved in masculine condom use and their implications for women, a female condom has been developed recently. It is not enough to give information or to make condoms available, if all the elements involved in the enhancement or failure of its use are not considered. Sexual educatwn programs are the fundamental strategy in preventing STD and pregnancy"
