Lubricated condoms

Sep 27, 2000

Dear Ryan, Is using a lubricated or putting some oil before

sexual intercourse will have higher risk?

Response from Mr. Kull

Please read the previous response to Lubrication (lube): What kind should I use for sex?.

Use water-based, not oil-based, lubricant with latex condoms for disease prevention. Some recent information suggests that Nonoxynol-9 should not be used for STD prevention since it may cause irritation and increase the risk of transmission.
