Overview of HIV Prevention
Summary
- Randomized controlled trials of the use of male condoms for prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are lacking
- Consistent and correct use of male condoms has been reported to be 87% effective for prevention of HIV across published studies, but efficacy could range from 60% to 95%[Davis 1999]
- Effectiveness in real-life settings may be lower due to improper use and poor-quality condoms
