According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 56 million Americans have an incurable STD, and besides the common cold and flu, STDs are indeed the most common diseases in North America. While condom use can help reduce the risk of infection, it is not a foolproof method and does not eliminate the risk entirely. Additionally, while there have been some decreases in STD rates among teenagers, this cannot be wholly attributed to condom use as other factors such as increased education and access to healthcare may also play a role.
