Which statement accurately describes the safety of condom use?

Condoms are inexpensive and accessible, but they are not very effective at preventing infection or pregnancy.

If condoms don't tear or slip out of place, they help against infection and pregnancy.
Condoms are more effective at preventing pregnancy than hormone-based birth control methods.

Answer:

B.) If condoms don't tear or slip out of place, they help against infection and pregnancy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Condoms and internal condoms are the only methods of birth control that also help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections like HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.

The second statement should be your best option. Condoms are cheap, accessible, and efficient, and are a better way of preventing STD transmission or pregnancy, second to Abstinence. However this is limited to whether a condom actually maintains its integrity.
