The new versions have a modern packaging and maintain the same effectiveness as previous models. Until then, the SU has offered two types of condoms: the exterior, made of latex and internal rubber, latex or nitrile.

“Sexual transmission infections (IST) are caused by viruses, bacteria or other microorganisms, mainly transmitted through sex without the use of condoms, if one of the partners is infected. The use of condoms throughout sex is the most effective method for protection against HIV and other Ist”, says the Ministry of Health.
