Condoms Report Title: Wag Gamitin ng Hindi Tama: Ang Impormasyong Pangkalusugan Tungkol sa Condom (Translation: Don't Use It Inappropriately: Health Information About Condoms) Ang condom ay isa sa pinaka-epektibong pamamaraan upang mag-proteksyon kontra ng maraming sakit at kalagayan, gaya ng HIV at iba pang mga bacteria at virus na maaaring magdulot ng mga balakid sa kalusugan. Ang condom ay maaaring gamitin sa anyo ng male condom o female condom, at maaaring gamitin lamang kada pagkakataon na may kahilingan o kamakailang pagkagamitan ng proteksyon. Ang Department of Health (DOH) ng Pilipinas ay nagbibigay ng impormasyong pangkalusugan tungkol sa condom upang matulungan ang mga tao na magbigay proteksyon sa kanilang sarili at sa mga kasamahan nila. Ang ilang mahalagang impormasyong ito ay: 1. Ang condom ay maaaring magbigay proteksyon upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng sakit na HIV at iba pang mga sakit na sexually transmitted (STI). 2. Ang condom ay dapat gamitin simula sa umpisa hanggang sa katapusan ng aktong sexual. 3. Ang condom ay dapat gamitin lamang once, at kailangan itapon ito pagkatapos ng paggamit. 4. Ang tamang paraan ng paggamit ng condom ay maaaring matutunan sa ilang mga video tutorial o sa pamamagitan ng pagpapagamot sa isang doktor. 5. Ang DOH ay nagbibigay ng libreng condom sa ilang mga clinic at ospital sa Pilipinas. Ang condom ay isang masusing paraan upang mapangalagaan ang kalusugan at ang kaligtasan ng mga tao. Ngunit hindi ito dapat gamitin upang gawing lagi o sa maling paraan. Ang mga tao ay dapat maging responsable sa paggamit ng condom at dapat magbigay-diin sa kanilang mga kasama sa paggamit nito. Sa katapusan, ang impormasyong pangkalusugan tungkol sa condom ay mahalaga upang matulungan ang mga tao na magbigay proteksyon sa kanilang sarili at sa mga kasamahan nila. Ang DOH ng Pilipinas ay naninindigan upang maghatid ng tamang impormasyon at serbisyong pangkalusugan sa lahat ng mga Pilipino, lalo na sa mga kaugnay ng condom.

Title: Krusada kontra COVID-19: Importansya ng Condom sa Proteksyon Ang sakit na COVID-19 ay nagpapalurgada sa mga komunidad sa buong mundo. Sa gitnang karagdagang pag-iingat at pag-iingatan ng kalusugan, kailangan nating hikayatin ang lahat na sumunod sa mga alituntunin at mga patakaran sa kalusugan na iniyong inangkop upang maiwasan ang nakababahaging epekto nito. Bahagi rin ng proteksyon ay ang tamang paggamit ng condom upang maiwasan ang iba pang mga sakit na maaaring ibigaban sa paglalarawan. Sa Pilipinas, ang condom ay isa sa pinaka-magandang paraan upang maiwasan ang nakamamatay na sakit na HIV at iba pang mga seksuwal na sakit. Ang impormasyong ito ay nagbibigay ng ilang mahalagang detalye tungkol sa condom sa wikang Filipino upang magamit para sa isang infographics na maaaring mapag-utilize sa mga pamaaral, mga pamayanan, o mga organisasyong kalusugan. 1. Ano ang condom? Condom (kondom) ay isang bote o s Chemically-treated plastic wrapper na idinisenyo upang magamit bilang proteksyon sa loob ng matiwasay o sa pagitan ng dalawang tao habang nagpapakas intima. Ito ay isang epektibong paraan upang maiwasan ang transmisyon ng sperma, virus, o iba pang mikrobyo habang ginagamit sa pagpapakasintima. 2. Iba't ibang uri ng condom May ilang uri ng condom na maaaring gumamit, kasabay ng ilang mga karakteristika na maaaring maihambing sa iyong pangangailangan: - PLASTIKO (POLYURETHANE): Ang condom na ito ay hindi gawa sa goma kundi sa plastiko. Maaaring magamit ito kahit sa anumang klase ng pakikipag-usap. Ang mga benepisyo nito ay maaaring magamit ng mga tao na may allergic reaction sa goma. - GUMA (LATEX): Ang mga condom na ito ay ang pinakamalawakang uri. Maaaring magamit ito sa anumang klase ng pakikipag-usap at mahusay itong tumutugon sa mga presyong kapalit. Ngunit, kung may allergic reaction ka sa goma, huwag gamitin ang condom na ito. - NATURAL (AGAWANG BUNTOT): Ang mga condom na ito ay hindi gumagamit ng mga kemikal na maaaring makapinsala sa kalusugan. Kumakatawan ito sa balat ng mga buntot na inilalagay sa natural na lana. Ang naturang material na ito ay maaaring maging mas maaliwalas at mas magaan sa pakiramdam kumpara sa mga kondom na gawa sa goma o plastiko. - THIN: Ang mga condom na ito ay maaaring maging pumaparami ng mas mura sa gamit kumpara sa ibang mga uri. Ang mga ito ay maaaring maging mas makapal kumpara sa mga kondom na iba't ibang uri. 3. Paano gamitin ang condom? 1. Siguraduhing ang condom ay hindi luma. Ang mga condom na matagal na ay maaaring mas mahina sa kalamnan. Hindi dapat gamitin ang mga condom na matagal ng nakatago o lumang guma. 2. Mag-istruksyon. Basahin ang mga instruksyon sa embalaje bago gamitin ang condom. 3. Siguraduhing malinis ang kamay bago isakat ng condom. 4. Isakat ang condom sa dibdib o sa tamang anyo ng ilong. 5. Alisin ang hikaw, huwag pong saksakin ang condom dahil ito ay maaaring maapektuhan ang ibig sabihin nito. 6. Kumuha ng mga hawak na hindi lubos iyong base o baba ng condom upang maiwasan ang maaaring makapalpak sa paglalarawan habang ito ay inilalagay. 7. Pagkatapos ng pakikipag-usap, alisin ang condom habang naaangkop ito sa ilong o kamay. 8. Siguraduhing walang iba pang liquid o sperma ang makakalalabas pagkatapos ng pakikipag-usap. 4. Paano manatiling ligtas habang ginagamit ang condom? - Huwag gumamit ng napako o luma o isang condom na hindi kasama ang tamang embalaje. - Huwag gamitin ang dental dam at iba pang klase ng condom para sa ibang kahilingan. - Huwag gamitin ang oil-based lube o iba pang mga produkto sa pagitan ng dalawang condom na maaaring magpahinog o mailubog. 5. Dapat bang lagi kong gumamit ng condom? Inirerekomenda ng mga eksperto na gamitin ang condom habang nagpapakasintima upang maiwasan ang mga sakit na maaaring iligalahan. Kung mayroon kang isang kasintahan na higit sa isa o nagpapakasama nang matagal, maaaring magtanong kayo sa isang doktor sa tungkol sa iba pang paraan upang maiwasan ang mga sakit na maaaring iligalahan.

A condom is a thin, loose-fitting pouch or sheath that protects against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs). As a barrier method of birth control (contraception), condoms prevent pregnancy by keeping semen (sperm-filled fluid) from entering the vagina and fertilizing the eggs. Why is a condom used? Condoms serve as barriers between bodies. They prevent pregnancy by catching ejaculate (semen) so sperm can’t enter your partner’s uterus. Condoms lower STD risk by stopping or greatly reducing people’s exchange of bodily fluids. When were condoms invented? People have used condoms in some form since the ancient world. The Ancient Egyptians were the first to use them to protect themselves against bilharzia, a parasitic worm. Ancient Romans used animal bladders as condoms to protect women from venereal diseases. Charles Goodyear, scientist and creator of vulcanized rubber, is credited with the invention of the modern condom in 1855. How effective are condoms? When used consistently and correctly, condoms are highly effective at preventing STDs such as herpes simplex virus (HSV). In addition, it can reduce the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by 71% to 80%. They also greatly reduce the chance of pregnancy. Condom sizes range from small to extra-large. It’s important to choose a condom that fits properly. In addition to being uncomfortable, an ill-fitting condom can reduce condom effectiveness, increasing your risk of pregnancy and STDs. Can condoms get you pregnant? When used perfectly, condoms are about 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. Typical use averages about 87% effective at preventing pregnancy. In any given year, approximately 15 out of every 100 people who rely on condoms as their only birth control get pregnant. Condoms can tear, leak or slip off. You can increase a condom’s effectiveness by pairing it with another form of birth control. Options include spermicide (foam or jelly that disables sperm), the pill (oral contraceptives) or a diaphragm. Be sure to discuss birth control options with a healthcare provider to find out what’s most effective for your situation. What are the different types of condoms? There are different types of condoms. You should only use one type of condom at a time during sexual intercourse. Using more than one condom creates friction, increasing the odds of a rip or tear. Condom types include: External (sometimes called male condoms): These condoms go over the penis to collect ejaculation fluids. Internal (sometimes called female condoms): An internal condom goes inside the vagina to keep sperm from entering the uterus. A soft, flexible ring attached to the condom stays outside the vagina for easy removal. Internal condoms may not be as effective as external (male) condoms in preventing STDs. Dental dams: These thin latex or polyurethane sheets serve as a barrier between a person’s mouth and a partner’s genitals or anus during oral sex. Dental dams reduce your risk of STDs such as oropharyngeal human papillomavirus (HPV). Finger condoms: Sometimes called finger cots, finger condoms are for engaging in sexual penetration with your fingers. Fingering is fairly low-risk, and can’t result in pregnancy. While the chance of catching an STD from fingering is low, a finger condom can further reduce your risk for STDs. What are condoms made of? You may hear people refer to condoms as rubbers. That’s because most external (male) condoms are latex, a type of rubber. Some people have a latex allergy that causes skin rashes, itching and other problems. Don’t use latex condoms if you or your partner has a latex allergy. Instead, try: Internal (female) condoms, which consist of a synthetic, non-latex material called nitrile. External (male) condoms made from polyurethane (a type of plastic).  Natural skin condoms or condoms made from other natural materials. (Note: Natural condoms prevent pregnancy, but they’re not recommended for the prevention of STDs.) What’s the difference between lubricated and non-lubricated condoms? Lubricated condoms have a substance (lube) that helps reduce friction during sex. Friction can increase the risk of a torn or ripped condom. Some condoms are coated with spermicide, a substance that slows down sperm so it can’t reach your partner’s egg. Non-lubricated condoms — as the name suggests — aren’t lubricated. You can use an over-the-counter lubricant with any condom. With latex condoms, use water-based lubricants — not oil-based lube. Oil weakens latex rubber, increasing the risk of a tear, break or leak. What are the advantages and disadvantages of condoms? The main advantages are that condoms are: safe and simple to use small and easy to carry cheap and easily available — you don't need a prescription able to protect against STIs and also unwanted pregnancy The main disadvantages are that condoms: can only be used once don’t prevent pregnancy as effectively as other types of contraception Condoms can break, tear or slip off, exposing you to another person’s bodily fluids. If this happens, you have a higher risk of an STD or unwanted pregnancy. If you’re choosing between male and female condoms, remember the following points: Male condoms are cheaper, easier to find and easier to use — female condoms can be tricky to insert and remove. Female condoms allow for more flexible timing — you can insert them any time before you have sex, while you can only use male condoms once the penis is erect. How do you put a condom on? https://www.cdc.gov/condom-use/resources/external.html You should wait until your penis is erect to put the condom on. Carefully tear open one end of the condom package. Don’t unroll the condom now. Instead, place it on the head (or tip) of your penis so that it will easily unroll down over the length of your penis. (It’s easy to mistakenly try to start unrolling the condom inside out, so check first to make sure it’s correct.) Leave about 1/4 inch of room at the tip and squeeze the air out of the top to form an empty nipple for the sperm to collect in. Some rubbers have a nipple built in. Never use Vaseline or mineral oil as a lubricant with a latex condom. You can buy pre-lubricated condoms. Or, use water-based lube, saliva, or foam to reduce friction. Risks / Benefits What are the benefits of using condoms? For sexually active people, condoms are the only way to protect against STDs. They can also prevent pregnancy. Keep in mind, while condoms greatly reduce your risk for pregnancy and STDs, they aren’t a foolproof solution. There is no type of condom that prevents pregnancy or STDs 100% of the time. This is why many people choose to use spermicide foam or gel as well as condoms. What are the risks of using condoms? Condoms can break, tear or slip off, exposing you to another person’s bodily fluids. If this happens, you have a higher risk of an STD or unwanted pregnancy. Other potential problems include:  Latex allergy. Urinary tract infections from spermicide-lubricated condoms. Vaginal or penile irritation. Additional Common Questions How old do you have to be to buy condoms? People of any age, including teens, can buy condoms. You don’t have to be 18, and a cashier legally can’t refuse to sell them to you. Do condoms expire? Yes. Condoms have expiration dates stamped on the packaging. You should never use a condom after it has expired. It’s also important to store condoms in a cool, dry place. Don’t keep them in your wallet, purse or pocket where they can become bent or creased. If you open a condom that feels sticky, dry or stiff, don’t use it. Get a new condom. How long do condoms last? Depending on the type of material the condom is made from, they can last between one and five years. Always check the expiration date printed on the packaging. How do condoms break? Condoms can break if they come in contact with sharp objects like jewelry, piercings, teeth or fingernails. They can also rip if you don’t use enough lubrication. What should I do if a condom breaks? Women concerned about pregnancy can use over-the-counter emergency contraception, sometimes referred to as Plan B® or the morning-after pill. Your healthcare provider can prescribe an even stronger pill or insert a copper intrauterine device (IUD) to stop conception. When used within 72 hours of intercourse, emergency contraception is up to 89% effective at preventing pregnancy. You should also talk to your provider about STD and HIV testing. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/9404-condoms https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/condoms#more-information https://sexualwellbeing.org.nz/adv/contraception/condoms/ https://www.audiopedia.org/Ano_ang_dapat_kong_malaman_tungkol_sa_condom_para_sa_kal alakihan
