Reproductive health implies that people are able to have a responsible, satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so.

Answers<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \n
  1. True. Latex condoms are effective in preventing BOTH pregnancy and many sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The effectiveness of latex condoms ranges between 82 and 98%. Lambskin (or sheepskin) condoms, the second most available type of condom, have tiny pores that may be large enough to allow viruses to pass through and therefore cannot be used to prevent STIs.<\/li>\n
  2. Using condoms and lubricants together is the best way to prevent pregnancy, HIV and STIs.<\/li>\n
  3. False. Use only water-based lubricants, such as K-Y Jelly, with condoms. Oil-based lubricants will weaken the condom and cause it to break.<\/li>\n
  4. False. It doesn’t matter which partner puts a condom on the penis as long as it is done correctly.<\/li>\n
  5. True. Always pinch the tip of the condom before unrolling it. Condoms can break if the tip is not pinched to remove air bubbles.<\/li>\n
  6. All of the above. For a condom to work properly, it must still be in date (check the packet), stored correctly and put on correctly.<\/li>\n
  7. True. This will prevent the condom from slipping off and possibly leaking inside his partner.<\/li>\n
  8. False. Condoms can be used only once.<\/li>\n
  9. False. While you should be prepared, condoms kept in warm places, like a wallet or a car’s glove compartment, can weaken from the heat.<\/li>\n
  10. The condom should be put on when the penis is erect, before any intimate contact. Pre-seminal fluid from the penis, even very early on in sex can transmit STIs, HIV or cause pregnancy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
