Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Latex condoms are the most widely available and effective option for protecting against STIs, including HIV. They have been extensively tested and are highly effective in preventing the spread of infections during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Skin condoms (made from lamb intestines) are not as effective and may not provide protection against all types of STIs. Polyurethane condoms are also effective, but may be more expensive and less widely available than latex condoms. Therefore, it is recommended that Hansel uses latex condoms for protection against STIs and HIV.
