Transcript
Hi, I’m Usheema Thomas and I’m a CVS pharmacist. There are many different contraception methods to select from so it’s good to know your options so you can make the right choice.
Some of the most common over-the-counter options prevent against STDs and pregnancy. Male condoms are 86 to 97 percent effective at preventing pregnancy, simple to use, and inexpensive. Female condoms are 79 to 95 percent effective, typically harder to use, and more costly than male condoms. Male and female condoms should not be used at the same time. Spermicides are another over-the-counter option, but they only protect against a limited number of STDs, and should be used with another barrier method to ensure safety.

Prescription methods prevent pregnancy, but do not prevent STDs. Oral contraceptives (the “Pill”) are 95 to 99.9 percent effective and need to be taken daily. Side effects might include nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, weight gain, mood swings, depression, and vision problems. The contraceptive patch is 99 percent effective and requires wearing a hormone patch on your skin for three weeks, with the fourth week “off.” Side effects are similar to the Pill, but might also include itching and redness where the patch is applied. The cervical cap is 80 to 90 percent effective, fits over the cervix, and should stay there for at least six hours after intercourse. Some experience more vaginal or urinary tract infections when they use a cap. Avoid this method if you have chronic urinary tract infections, a history of toxic shock syndrome, a current gynecological infection, or an abnormal Pap smear. The intrauterine device (IUD) is a small T-shaped device that is inserted into your uterus, is 99.4 percent effective, and can last up to 10 years. It’s usually ideal for women who’ve already had children, and is not typically suggested for women not in long-term, single-partner relationships, or women who might want kids in the future.
If you have any questions, speak to your physician or CVS pharmacist. We’re always here to help.

The purpose of this video is to discuss the kinds of options you have when choosing condoms and how some can feel quite differently than others.
Next, this video should be a mini-tutorial on how exactly to use condoms (the DOs and DON’Ts).
And finally, this video explains where you can get free condoms if you don’t have the money. Remember, going to your local health clinic to get condoms is 100% confidential. Under NO circumstances can they speak to your parents or anyone else about it.

NIH Report on the Scientific Evidence on Condom Effectiveness for Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Prevention.

Workshop Summary: Scientific Evidence on Condom Effectiveness for STD Prevention. www.niaid.nih.gov

See also: Sex, Condoms and STDs: What We Now Know. Safer sex isnt almost innocuous enough, The Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 2002.
The Church instructs that the use of condoms for purposes of artificial birth control violates natural law, is immoral and offensive to God — and is harmful to the well being of the husband, wife and their marital relationship.

Today, many people use the term, safe-sex, as if they are experts on a topic that is suppose to have a scientific basis. Experts they are not, and the term “safe-sex” is not based on sound science or morality.

The word innocuous means free from harm, danger or risk. Safe-sex is defined as using a male latex condom during sexual activity where there is exposure to genitals and sexual fluids. Health officials, sex educators, motion picture stars and other public personalities tell the public that they can have sex with anyone they want anytime they want and often as they want — as long as the male wears a latex condom, then no harm or danger will come to the people engaging in sexual activity. According to the latest research on condoms and their effectiveness in preventing sexually transmitted diseases, condoms have been found to be anything but — safe-sex.

The Condom Effectiveness Conference which was led by the National Institutes of Health, reviewed published scientific evidence on condom effectiveness as of June 2000.

Based on the conference findings, here is how condoms stack up against some common sexually transmitted diseases:

Human Papilloma Virus. Also called genital warts. Condoms offer tiny to no endorsement even if used 100% of the time.

Trichomonas. No endorsement even if condoms are used 100% of the time.

Syphilis. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 2950% if they are used 100% of the time.

Gonorrhea. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 50% if they are used 100% of the time.

Chlamydia. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 50% if they are used 100% of the time.

Genital herpes. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 40% if they are used at least 65% of the time. One study showed condoms reduced transmission risk for women by 25% but men were still at risk.

HIVAids. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission by 85 to 87% if they are used 100% of the time.

If so-called innocuous sex were truly safe, condoms would eliminate the risk of STD transmission but the NIH study reveals that condoms only offer risk reduction.

Read the back of any box of condoms and see that even condom manufacturers state that when condoms are used properly, they might help reduce the risk of catching or spreading many STDs. Realize also, that correct use of condoms means using a condom with each act of sex with no forgetting and that the five to seven steps for putting on and removing a condom must be followed since you can not make mistakes or you lose the benefit of the condom. And even if you use them correctly, condoms only reduce the risk of STDs, so youre still at risk.

Two things that condoms cant protect are the heart and mind. Condoms cant prevent the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual bonds that form when two people have sex and condoms cant reduce the risk and pain of heartbreak when relationships end. Condoms dont protect against unwanted memories and connections to past sexual partners long after those bonds are broken.

Condoms are not the answer. The answer is sexual self-control by developing the virtues of chastity, which is the virtue which excludes or moderates the indulgence of the sexual appetite.
