Internal and External Condoms

Condoms are birth control devices that prevent semen (the fluid that contains sperms) from entering a vagina or an anus. When semen is released inside a vagina, it may reach an egg and fertilize it, causing a pregnancy. This pamphlet explains what internal and external condoms are, how they work, what to do if a condom breaks, and what to do if your partner does not want to use a condom.
