and anal sex, and for oral sex performed on men.HIV can be passed on before
ejaculation, through pre-come and vaginal secretions, and from the anus.It is very
important that condoms are put on before any sexual contact occurs between the
penis, vagina, mouth or anus. Lubricants can help prevent condoms from breaking.
Water-based and silicon-based lubricants are safe to use with latex condoms.

oils, body lotions, and cooking oil) should not be used with latex condoms because
they can weaken latex and cause breakage.Dont inject drugs this prevention to tell
