Summary

About half of new cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) each year are in adolescents. Condoms can prevent some STIs, but many sexually active adolescent boys didn’t use a condom the last time they had sex. Evidence shows that giving out condoms may get adolescents to use condoms more often.
