The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently tweeted a public service announcement reminding folks to not “wash or re-use condoms.”
The informative tweet read, “We say it because people do it: Don’t wash or reuse #condoms! Use a fresh one for each #sex act.”

Now, I trust and believe that if the CDC, one of the foremost leaders on treating/preventing HIV, is tweeting it, it’s for a reason.
But – SRSLY? Folks have to be told condoms are a one and done kinda thing?
The Twitterverse thought this seemed a bit obvious, but then decided to have some fun.

So, to be clear:
Yes – always use a condom to protect yourself from infections ranging from HIV to many other STDs.
Yes – You should check the condom before using to make sure it’s not damaged.
No – Don’t keep condoms in your wallet as friction and heat are not a condom’s friends.
And no – don’t reuse condoms. Please dispose of them sensibly.

Happy Friday!
