The core task of the condom is to prevent the sperm from transmitting and prevent unwanted pregnancy, and can prevent the transmission of numerous sexually transmitted diseases.
When properly and regularly using a condom, effectively prevent the
transmission of many sexually transmitted diseases such as hepatitis B,
hepatitis C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV.
But there are certain sexually transmitted diseases that can be infected even when using a condo
1. Genital herpes
If the lesions of the herpes are found on the groin or pelvis that
are not covered with a condom, their transmission can occur. Doctors
recommend that you abstain from sexual intercourse, if there is a
noticeable outbreak of herpes, and that you should keep in mind that
herpes can also be transmitted even when there are no visible symptoms.
The
condom is not enough to protect herpes type 2 or genital herpes, nor
herpes type 1, or oral herpes, which has recently been discovered that
can be transmitted through sexual intercourse.
Depending on the stage
of the disease that can be altered, genital herpes may be less
infectious (when there are no visible symptoms) or extremely infectious
(when the skin has visible bubbles).
2. HPV
Human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted disease,
and if you are sexually active, it is likely that at some point you
will be exposed to this virus.
Some types of this virus can cause
genital warts, while others do not have any visible external symptoms,
and most often because of this, people are unaware that they have this
virus in themselves. Although there are no visible warts, the virus can
be transmitted through the skin.
Some types of HPV can cause even
cervical cancer. Although there is evidence that using a condom reduces
the risk of cervical cancer, there is no strong evidence that the condom
completely inhibits the transmission of HPV.
3. Shame lice
Pubic lice are no longer the usual disease due to the improvement of social standard and hygiene in general. This type of louse lays eggs and lives in embarrassing hair which means that in order to prevent their transmission, the condom will not help.
4. Syphilis
Syphilis is manifested as a solid, circular and usually, painless
wound, or an ulcer. As with herpes, the condom protects depending on
where the wound is located.
The use of a condom reduces the risk of
transmission and can help if the ulcer is covered with a condom, but if
it is part of a genitalia that is not covered by a condom, it can be
easily transmitted.
