Condoms are the only form of protection that can help to stop the transmission of STIs and prevent pregnancy.

Use a new condom every time you have sex – there's no excuse.

• Condoms are very reliable
• They are widely available, including online
• Theres a huge variety giving you more choice

Condoms do not need to be prescribed; there are no medical side effects and you only need them when you’re having sex rather than having to take them all the time. Even if you are using another form of birth control, you should still use a condom to protect against STIs – including those you don’t know you or your partner have.

Theres no excuse.
