Question

which statement about condom use is true? multiple choice among college students, 75 percent report always using a condom during intercourse. frequent use of spermicides with condoms can cause vaginal skin damage and increase vulnerability to stis. male condoms provide greater coverage and protection compared with female condoms. the rate of condom slippage and breakage during vaginal intercourse is about 15 percent.

Explanation:

• The first option: Research shows college students' consistent condom use is lower than 75%.
• The second option: Frequent spermicide use (e.g., nonoxynol-9) can irritate vaginal mucosa, increasing STI risk—this is accurate.
• The third option: Female condoms cover more genital area (e.g., vulva) than male condoms, so this is false.
• The fourth option: Slippage/breakage rates are typically <5%, not 15%.

Answer:

B. Frequent use of spermicides with condoms can cause vaginal skin damage and increase vulnerability to STIs.
