The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning to sexually-active people to stop washing and reusing condoms.
To answer all those who might be surprised to hear that people wash and reuse condoms, the health agency wrote: “We say it because people do it: Don’t wash or reuse condoms.”
“Use a fresh one for each sex act,” the CDC advised.
Reusing condoms results in weakened latex, which can lead to rips or tears that increase the risk of pregnancy and STDs.
