What are condoms?
Career: Condoms
Condoms are barrier devices typically made of latex, polyurethane, or polyisoprene that are worn during sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They work by creating a physical barrier that blocks sperm from reaching an egg and helps protect against the exchange of bodily fluids. Condoms are available in male (external) and female (internal) varieties, and are widely accessible without a prescription. Proper use of condoms significantly increases their effectiveness for both contraception and STI prevention.
