A review of the literature shows that condoms offer good protection against HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases. A series of in vitro experiments demonstrate that quality condoms made of latex are impermeable to HIV. In addition, more than 30 in vivo studies confirm that condoms are highly effective in preventing the transmission of HIV. Condom breakage or slippage is relatively uncommon (1-5%). Most condom failure probably results from incorrect or inconsistent usage. Failures may be minimized by increasing experience, choice of quality condoms and by strictly following instructions for use.
文献综述表明，避孕套能有效预防艾滋病毒感染和其他性传播疾病。一系列体外实验证明，优质乳胶避孕套可有效阻隔艾滋病毒。此外，30多项体内研究证实，避孕套在预防艾滋病毒传播方面非常有效。避孕套破裂或滑落的情况相对少见（1%-5%）。大多数避孕套使用失败可能是由于使用方法不当或不一致造成的。通过增加使用经验、选择优质避孕套并严格遵循使用说明，可将失败率降至最低。
