Acquiring other STDs: Condoms are proven highly effective against HIV and reduce the risk of other STDs. However, they do not afford protection against sexually transmitted diseases that can affect the outer layers of the skin, such as scabies infections and molluscum contagiosum.
Risk of pregnancy: Condoms are mostly used to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. However, when used correctly condoms can only guarantee 98% protection and if used in an improper manner 15 out of 100 women get pregnant.
