WHAT IS A MALE CONDOM? WHAT IS IT MADE OF? WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING IT? HOW DOES ONE USE IT?
A male condom is a sheath usually made of latex, or of polyurethane. It acts as a barrier by preventing direct exchange of body fluids, such as semen, pre-ejaculatory fluid, vaginal fluid, genital discharge, etc., between sexual partners, thus preventing the spread of HIV infection.
The procedure to use a condom:
• Check the expiry date before usage.
• Do not keep the condom in the back pocket or wallet heat makes the latex easy to tear.
• Do not unroll the condom before putting it on.
• Keep the condom in the packet till the penis is erect.
• When the penis is erect, hold the closed tip of the condom to keep out air and allow room for the semen to collect in.
• Place the condom on the end of the erect penis while holding the tip, and unroll the condom onto the erect penis all the way down to the base (up to the pubic hair). If it does not unroll easily, do not use the condom.
• During sex, make sure the condom stays in place.
• Pull out the penis immediately after ejaculation, before it becomes limp.
• Gently unroll the condom, taking care not to spill any semen.
• Dispose it promptly and properly by tying it up, wrapping it in paper and throwing it in the garbage or burying it.
• Do not reuse a condom. Use a fresh condom for every sexual act.
• Condoms provide almost 100% protection against HIV/AIDS and for a majority of sexually transmitted diseases, if used correctly and consistently, i.e., if a condom is used for every sexual act from the time of penetration till the completion of the act.

Precautions to be taken before using a condom:
• Store the condom in a cool place away from direct heat and pressure.
• Make sure that sharp objects do not tear a condom during use.
• Make sure that the air is expelled from the teat of the condom while wearing it, so as to prevent it from bursting during intercourse.
