If used properly they do. Condoms are basically something like 90% effective.

Supposed to, that doesnt mean that they always do though. My mom recently got hiv(that is what one test said, and then the others came out negative..), and they were wearing a condom. You can never be to sure. Be careful....Even though she doesnt have it that I know of she is having to deal with that fear...Do you want that??

Yeah I asked my gyno that once and she said to use condoms because the work best on keeping out std's. And they are better to use even with birth control to be safe.

Hey hey


hey on the condoms keeping out std's , when me and my doc had this discussion at one of my appointments I asked her if they help block it out.. She said they do but they aint 100% effective so there is always a chance.. Wats with this nothing protects us 100%Neutral I dont like this.... Lol anyways laters

Yeah, they also should come up with men birth control. Why do we always get stuck with everything! Periods, birth control, labor, stds...Guys get std's and thats it. Big deal. I want them to get a preiod and see how they like it!
