Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own. http://www.condomdepot.com/learn/detail.cfm/cid/145/ rss@condomdepot.com Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 CST In June 2000, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), convened a workshop to evaluate the published evidence establishing the effectiveness of latex male condoms in preventing STDs, including HIV. A summary report from that workshop was completed in July 2001 (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/ dmid/stds/condomreport.pdf). This fact sheet is based on the NIH workshop report and additional studies that were not reviewed in that report or were published subsequent to the workshop (see link for additional references). Most epidemiologic studies comparing rates of STD transmission between condom users and non-users focus on penile-vaginal intercourse. http://www.condomdepot.com/learn/detail.cfm/cid/146/ rss@condomdepot.com Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 CST What do condoms have in common with toothpaste and toilet paper?Not enough, according to Adam Glickman, owner of the Condomania stores in New York and Los Angeles.

"People have gotten past asking, 'Isn't brushing my teeth every morning a hassle?' Given the world we live in, wearing condoms is something you just have to do, like brushing your teeth. The stakes are too high." http://www.condomdepot.com/learn/detail.cfm/cid/147/ rss@condomdepot.com Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 CST Condoms are an incredibly cool invention. They prevent disease and, if you're willing to give them a chance ... they can be fun!

So here are the top ten tips for using condoms: http://www.condomdepot.com/learn/detail.cfm/cid/148/ rss@condomdepot.com Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 CST This page has statistics and studies from reputable institutions citing the effectiveness of male latex condoms.

So explore your feelings about sex. If you are very uncomfortable with the subject, read some books (see Readings for Parents) and discuss your feelings with a trusted friend, relative, physician, or clergy member. The more you examine the subject, the more confident you'll feel discussing it.</p> http://www.condomdepot.com/learn/detail.cfm/cid/135/ rss@condomdepot.com Fri, 23 May 2008 00:00:00 CST <p>&quot;It's a tantra master wrapped in foil, the antidote to impatient passion.
