The safety of safety agent

An agent or device created to prevent conception called condom is very widely known as a consequence of the AIDS and STD outburst during 1960-1970. However, what is considered one of the safest way of having protection might have several backgrounds we should be awaare of. Several facts regarding the safety of condom:

• Condom is made from latex or polyutherine - more common known as plastic condom. This plastic condom is designed as alternative for people allergic to latex. What most people are not aware of, plastic condom offers less quality than latex. The process of producing this plastic condom is considered too fast while the breaking risk is 3 times as high as latex (5% for plastic and 1.5% for latex)
• Based on several conducted studies, condom prevents the spread of AIDS if used consistently and correctly. However, small precentage of infection (0.15%) still occurs. The best things to do are to absence from any sexual activities from HIV+ partners, change partners less frequently, and quickly take antiviral therapy within maximum 72hours after a known exposure to HIV+
• STDs and AIDS could spread via unprotected oral sex via the lining of urethra, vaginal or cervix, anus, or directly via cuts and sores of the body. The risk increases if the person performing has cuts or sores in his/her mouth, and if the recipient ejaculates in the mouth of the performer. Condom reduce the spreading risk by 98%.
• The absence of condom size in the package caused people to make mistakes. Too small or too big condom can cause spillage of semen or slipage, which might increase STDs risks as well as unwanted pregnancies. Several states tried to urge condom manufacturer to put size of condom in term of width and length instead of letter (S,M,L).
