Condom

Male condoms are thin sheaths made of rubber, vinyl or natural products which are placed on the penis once it is erect. Male condoms may be treated with a spermicide for added protection. Male condoms prevent sperm from gaining access to the female reproductive tract and prevent microorganisms (STDs, including HBV and HIV/AIDS) from passing from one partner to another (latex and vinyl condoms only).
