Condoms
Condoms are the only type of contraception that can prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STIs).
If used correctly, condoms are up to 98% effective. Condoms are a ‘barrier’ method of contraception, as they physically prevent sperm from reaching the uterus, so you cannot get pregnant.
There are two types of condoms:
- External Condoms (often called male condoms), worn on the penis
- Internal Condoms (often called female condoms), worn inside the vagina.
