Condoms have come a long way since their use in ancient Egypt three millennia ago. Their benefit is well established for the prevention of both contraception and STDs. Although AIDS has revitalized the condom, we must remember that condoms do not prevent the spread of HIV infection, people do. Everyone must take personal responsibility to avoid high risk behavior (e.g.; IV drug use, promiscuous sex, casual sex, etc). If one does engage in high risk sexual behavior, he/she should at least use condom sense.
自三千年前在古埃及开始使用以来，安全套已经有了长足的发展。其在预防避孕和性传播疾病方面的益处已得到充分证实。尽管艾滋病让安全套再度受到重视，但我们必须记住，预防艾滋病毒感染传播的不是安全套，而是人。每个人都必须承担个人责任，避免高风险行为（例如，静脉注射吸毒、滥交、一夜情等）。如果有人确实从事高风险性行为，他/她至少应该正确使用安全套。
