Are There Any Limitations to Condoms in Cancer Prevention?
While condoms are highly effective in reducing the risk of STIs and associated cancers, they are not foolproof. Condoms do not cover all genital skin, so areas not covered by a condom can still be susceptible to HPV infection. Condoms can also break or be used incorrectly, which diminishes their protective effect. Therefore, combining condom use with other preventive measures such as vaccination and regular medical check-ups is highly recommended.
