I got this post from Facebook in one of my FB groups:
CONDOM MYTH's:
1. Condoms don't work very well. [False statement]
If used consistently and correctly, condoms are effective in preventing the transmission of STIs including HIV.
2. The male condom can come off and get lost inside. [False statement]
If put on correctly, a male condom is very unlikely to come off. Even if it does, it can be removed with the fingers, it can not 'get lost'.
3. Most condoms are too small. [False statement]
The latex used to make condoms is very flexible and can stretch to several times the size of even the biggest penis!
4. Using two condoms at the same time offers greater protection. [False statement]
Using two condoms at the same time creates greater friction during sex, which may result in the condoms breaking or slipping off. Only one condom should be used at a time.
5. The HIV Virus is so small that it can pass through the condom. [False statement]
Tests have shown that neither semen nor HIV can pass through the material used in making condoms.
