Patient's question:
According to my colleague, using condoms can prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Recently, I've been thinking about trying it out. Since I have to use condoms when having sex with my girlfriend, I've been using them for a few days, but I feel very uncomfortable. Can condoms really prevent sexually transmitted diseases?Doctor's answer:
Now, the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is relatively high, and they are highly contagious. Using condoms can effectively prevent the spread of STDs, making them a good item in modern human society to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. If you have only one sexual partner, you can avoid using condoms and will never contract an STD. However, if you have multiple sexual partners and engage in promiscuous behavior, it is still recommended to use condoms to prevent the contraction of STDs, including AIDS.
