February 14 is Valentine's Day, the day of love. Did you know that it is also National Condom Day?
For condoms to provide effective protection against badually transmitted diseases (STDs), they must be used and stored properly.
The Pueblo Department of Public Health and the Environment offers the following tips for proper condom use:
Store condoms in a cool, dark place. Exposure to heat and light increases the risk of condom breakage.
Do not store condoms in wallets or cars. Instead, keep them on a bedside table or in an easily accessible drawer when needed.
Put on condoms at the very beginning of bad and do not remove them until after bad.
Leave a little room – "a tank" at the tip of the condom when setting up to prevent breakage.
Check the expiry date of your condoms and do not use expired condoms.
Never reuse a condom.
The Department of Health offers free condoms Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 16:30. in the clinic on the second floor. For more information on badual and reproductive health, please call the Department of Health Clinic at 583-4380.
To ask questions in a more discreet and confidential way, send your questions by SMS or e-mail to [email protected] to receive medically accurate answers within 24 hours. Stay safe and healthy!
