Though many methods of prevention of STI/HIV are available, condoms remain of
utmost importance. They have gone a long way from the oiled silk paper used by
the Chinese and the hard sheaths made of tortoise- shell used by the Japanese to
the latex condoms of today. The breakthrough came when the rubber vulcanization
process was invented by Charles Goodyear and eventually the first rubber condom
was made. The condom offers maximum protection( more than 90%) against HIV,
Hepatitis B virus and N.Gonorrhoea. They also offer protection in scenarios when
