Condom Information in Abstinence Programs Called Inaccurate - washingtonpost.com

Condom Information in Abstinence Programs Called Inaccurate - washingtonpost.com:

"Each of these assertions turns up in federally funded abstinence-only sex education programs: Condoms fail to prevent HIV infection 31 percent of the time during heterosexual sex. The chances of getting pregnant while using a condom are 1 in 6. And condoms break or slip off nearly 15 percent of the time.

And each of them is wrong, says John S. Santelli, a pediatrician and a professor at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health."
