Explanation:
A condom is a sheath-shaped barrier device used during sexual intercourse to reduce the probability of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection (STI).[1] There are both male and female condoms.[5] With proper use—and use at every act of intercourse—women whose partners use male condoms experience a 2% per-year pregnancy rate.[1] With typical use the rate of pregnancy is 18% per-year.[6] Their use greatly decreases the risk of gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B, and HIV/AIDS.[1] To a lesser extent, they also protect against genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and syphilis.[1]
The male condom is rolled onto an erect penis before intercourse and works by forming a physical barrier which blocks semen from entering the body of a sexual partner.[1][7] Male condoms are typically made from latex and, less commonly, from polyurethane, polyisoprene, or lamb intestine.[1] Male condoms have the advantages of ease of use, easy to access, and few side effects.[1] In those with a latex allergy a polyurethane or other synthetic version should be used.[1] Female condoms are typically made from polyurethane and may be used multiple times.[7]
Condoms as a method of preventing STIs have been used since at least 1564.[1] Rubber condoms became available in 1855, followed by latex condoms in the 1920s.[2][3] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.[8] In the United States condoms usually cost less than US$1.00.[9] Globally less than 10% of those using birth control are using the condom.[10] Rates of condom use are higher in the developed world.[10] In the United Kingdom the condom is the second most common method of birth control (22%) while in the United States it is the third most common (15%).[11][12] About six to nine billion are sold a year.[13]
