 Risk of taking drugs before/during sex
Alcohol and recreational drug use (e.g. ecstasy) can cloud our judgment. We may act in ways we don't normally act. These include WHO, WHERE, WHAT sort of sex we have and the decisions about practicing safe sex. |

Proper use of condom and tips:
- Don't store condoms near heat sources because they might break.
- Be prepared. Keep condoms on hand. If they are easy to get, you are more likely to use them.
- Put condom on as soon as the penis gets hard. HIV can be present in pre-ejaculate ("pre-cum").
- Don't use more than one condom at a time. Using more than one condom at a time would create friction and increase chance of breaking.
- If you feel the condom break or slip during intercourse, STOP IMMEDIATELY and put on a new one.
- Lubricated condoms are less likely to break than un-lubricated ones.
- Un-lubricated condoms are used principally in oral sex.
- You can use a water-based lubricant. Oil-based lubricant such as oil, hand lotion, or vaseline will cause the condom to break.
- Use additional lubricant and apply the lubricant to the outside of the condom only.
- Apply the lubricant in and around the anus.
- There is no evidence to suggest that Nonoxynol-9 (N-9) containing condoms provide any additional protection against STI and HIV transmission. On the contrary, it may cause irritation to the skin resulting in allergic reaction.
