Question

Which of the following is a unique advantage of male and female condoms that other contraceptive methods do not provide?

Options

• Protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV/AIDS

• Long-lasting effectiveness for more than 3 months

• Reversible nature with immediate fertility restoration

• No need for medical supervision during use

Answer 1

Both male condoms (Nirodh) and female condoms (Femidom) provide dual protection: they prevent pregnancy through physical barrier action and also protect against sexually transmitted infections such as HIV/AIDS and gonorrhoea. This makes them uniquely valuable beyond contraception alone.
