"Does using two condoms during sexual intercourse guarantee extra protection?"

No other method of birth control is as successful at protecting you against STIs and STDs as a condom. So always use a condom during sexual intercourse. But just one at a time!"

"Can condoms prevent all STDs?"

"No. Using condoms decreases your risk of getting HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Trichomoniasis. Since condoms don’t cover all skin surfaces they are less likely to protect you from diseases spread by skin-to-skin contact (e.g. Herpes, Genital Warts)."
