Barrier Protection and Public Health: The Efficacy of the Condom
The condom is a sheath-shaped barrier device used during sexual intercourse to reduce the probability of pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Material Science and Safety
Latex and Non-Latex: Most are made of natural rubber latex, though polyurethane or polyisoprene options exist for those with allergies.
Triple Protection: It remains the only multipurpose prevention technology that simultaneously addresses pregnancy, HIV, and other STIs (like gonorrhea and chlamydia).
Quality Standards: Modern manufacturing involves electronic hole testing to ensure structural integrity and barrier reliability.
