A member asked:

Please tell me, could i get pregnant or get std's if you wear a condom?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes, it is possible: Depending on proper use of condoms and sexual practices. Condoms do not guarantee 100% protection.

Condom: AGree w Dr. Tavarez. If a condom is used consistently and correctly the efficacy rate for preventing pregnancy can be up to 98%. With real time use it is usually less. It is also not 100% for STD's.
