General Introduction

• Most people would use a condom, which could be 98% effective but would use them incorrectly and therefore reduce this effectiveness.

• It is best to practice Abstinence and Be faithful and stay away from condom use but most people cannot muster up the discipline necessary for AB. So they report to condoms effectively and not use.

• Bottom line is that if a condom must be used, it must be used correctly and consistently with each sexual intercourse.
