Newsletter - HIV and Condoms

From the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University...

About half of the new HIV infections in the US are among people under age 25 years with the majority infected through sexual behavior. About one in three new diagnoses with HIV/AIDS are attributed to heterosexual transmission. Men who have sex with women play a major role in HIV transmission to women who can also pass it on to offspring. 

Condom use is a critical public health strategy for reducing the likelihood of transmitting and acquiring sexually transmissible infections, including HIV, in adult men and women.  Consistent and correct use of male condoms can be a highly effective method of preventing the transmission of HIV and many STIs, but this method relies on men’s willingness and ability to use condoms.
