A member asked:

If my partner has std and we use a condom can i get an std ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: what kind of condom? Latex condoms are protective if there are no holes in the condom. Sheep skin condoms are good protection from bacteria and pregnancy but not good for virus protection like HPV, Herpes, and HIV. BE CAREFUL
