    1. The Condom

    Let’s start with the basics. Condoms are still an excellent way to practice safe sex. When worn correctly, a condom is extremely effective in preventing the transmission of HIV. For gay men, the consistent use of condoms is 76 percent effective in preventing new HIV infections during anal sex. When used correctly and without error, a condom is up to 99 percent effective in preventing HIV transmission. Condoms are also effective in preventing most other STIs, but are not as effective in preventing the transmission of herpes, Hepatitis B or HPV.

    The great thing about condoms is that they are cheap, easy to buy and use, and do not require a prescription.
