Condoms are good at preventing both pregnancy and STDs. If you follow the instructions and use them every time you have sex there's is a very small chance of pregnancy and your chance of getting or giving an STD is much lower. This what Planned Parenthood says:
*How effective are condoms against pregnancy?
If you use condoms perfectly every single time you have sex, they're 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. But people aren't perfect, so in real life, condoms are about 82% effective — that means about 18 out of 100 people who use condoms as their only birth control method will get pregnant each year. *
