Do condoms prevent the spread of HPV?
Recent studies suggest that regular condom use provides some protection against the HPV infection. However, since condoms do not cover all areas that can be the source of the spread of HPV, they do not offer complete protection. Also, occasional use of condoms was not shown to offer any protection from HPV. To realize protection from HPV infection, you must be committed to using condoms every time you have sex until you are in a committed relationship. However, condoms do reduce the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted disease when used all the time and in the right way.
