You are right. Condoms are the best method for sexually active t) people to prevent diseases. Unfor- c tunately, some people are allergic to the rubber, and there is really v nothing you can do about it. An animal skin condorr is an v option, but a very small virus (i.e. r' HIV, which causes AIDS) might n get through the skin condoms, v which are porous, as compared to P a condom made of rubber. The a animal skin condoms do provide 0 good protection against unwanted n pregnancy, however, and would 11 . _ _ . rr certainly be better protection than " using nothing against most sexually transmitted diseases. Adding ^ a spermicidal foam containing non-oxynol 9 (used by your part- S( ner) will provide increased protec- sl tion against any bacteria or virus n that might get through the condom. 8 If you are allergic to the lubri- u cant (or aren't sure if it's the rub- 01 ber or the lubricant), try nonlubricated condoms. There can be some irritation of the genitals if 0 there's not enough lubrication dur- * ing intercourse, so you may con- p sider using a water-based lubricant si like K-Y jelly, a somewhat diffe- o rent substance than is used to lu- P bricate condoms. Remember, too, ti that condoms are lubricated with a d variety of substances: non-oxynol b 9, which is a spermicide, SK-70 b ?: , FITNESS is FREE in the Campi Come Workout with US!! 777-52 Bbk //* Jj^L FOR FREQUEni For more than twenty years, CB s by racers.

Congratulations or being concerned about your exual health. What is the most effective nethod of birth controi ? Abstinence. What is the best method of >irth control? Any method that you are willing o use correctly and consistently, very time you have intercourse. I ncluded both these questions Dgether this week because I have >ften asked groups of students vhat the best method of birth conrol is. The answer-most often gien is abstinence. But "best" is a dative and personal word. Abstience really is the best in many ^ays: it's the most effective in reventing pregnancy; people void the emotional consequences f having intercourse before they light be ready for the res pons ibily; it's best if that's what your lorals tell you is right; and it's est if that's what you choose to o. The main thing to consider, owever. is that if vou are having J ?0 ;xual intercourse at this time, abinence is obviously not the best lethod for you in preventing prenancy. If no other method is sed, a pregnancy certainly can :cur. If you are at risk for STDs meaning you have intercourse nth other than a lifelong sexual artner), condoms might be conidered the best method, because f the 90-99 percent pregnancy rotection plus the added protecon against sexually transmitted iseases.
