Health Tips
By Ron Webb
A.P. Beutel Health Center
HIV infection and many other sexually transmitted diseases are
on the rise and threaten all sexually active people. The only way to
be absolutely sure you will not contract a sexually transmitted dis
ease is to abstain.
That means no sex and no genital contact of any kind. This is the
safest option.
But for students who are sexually active, the use of condoms
from beginning to end of all sexual activity is the best protection.
Here are some helpful bints for using a condom.
Choose the right kind of condom. Studies show latex condoms
with nonoxynol-9 spermicide can assist in preventing the transmis
sion of the AIDS, hepatitis and herpes viruses.
Lambskin condoms are made of animal tissue which has small
pores and allows the passage of viruses. They should not be used
for disease prevention.
Read the condom package and look for the statement "preven
tion of sexually transmitted diseases." Most brand name condoms
prevent sexually transmitted diseases, but many of the novelty con
doms, such as flavored or glow-in-the-dark condoms, and those
that don't have spermicide, are not effective against the transmis
sion of diseases.
Some people like to add a lubricant to the condom to decrease
the possibility of the condom breaking. This is a good idea, but the
lubricant you choose can actually increase the chance of breaking if
you are not careful.
Always use water-based lubricants, and never use petroleum-
based lubricants. Petroleum-based lubricants break down the latex
in the condom. Do not use baby oil, petroleum jelly, sun tan oil or
Pennzoil. KY Jelly is a well-known water-based lubricant, but there
are others. Like spermicides, they are displayed near the condoms.
Always check the expiration date on a condom. Never use a con
dom if the expiration date has passed.
Check for defects when using a condom. If the condom sticks to
itself or is gummy, don't use it. You should also check the tip of the
condom for any other damage, such as brittleness, tears or boles.
Don't unroll the condom to inspect it. You may damage it while
unrolling, and it is almost impossible to put on an unrolled con
dom.
Store condoms in a cool, dry place. Do not expose a condom to
extended periods of heat or sunlight because this breaks down the
latex condom.
Handling of the condom is important, especially opening the
package. If you have long fingernails or if you use your teeth to
open the condom package, be careful not to puncture or damage the
condom.
It is very important to use a new condom each time you have a
sexual encounter of any type. This means oral, anal or vaginal in
tercourse.
If you are interested in more information about condoms,
HIV/AIDS or sexually transmitted diseases, visit the Health Educa
tion Center in Room 016 in the basement of A.P. Beutel Health Cen
ter between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
