Valentine’s Day is the official beginning of National Condom Week. Yes kiddies, an entire week dedicated to a piece of rubber that prevents you from becoming a walking STD or a baby’s mamma. While this school is a Jesuit institution and unfortunately follows the Catholic policy regarding birth control, we at The Mirror decided to give you some facts on condoms and ways to score some freebies.

Condoms, when used correctly, will almost always prevent the spread of HIV. A study done in 1993 showed that out of 171 women who had sex with men infected with HIV and used condoms, only two became infected with HIV. Condoms also reduce the risk of other sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, HPV, herpes, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
