No: Prostatitis is not usually a sexually transmitted disease. Patricio gargollo, pediatric urology, dallas, texas.

If always on, maybe: Condoms are amazing at preventing bacterial transmission if always worn. Unfortunately, some men want to "get a few strokes in the vagina" before placement, and that is where the condom is of no value.
