Model 4: High Risk

Condoms
and
Lubricants

 

Condoms protect you against
infection during sex.
Important: Only use high-quality
condoms bearing the CE mark
and pay attention to the shelf-life
date.
And, if necessary, use a
generous amount of
suitable lubricant.

Condoms are only compatible
with fat-free lubricants. Oils,
greases, lotions, creams and
vaseline damage the condom and
can cause it to tear. Therefore,
only use water-soluble lubricants! They are available from
chemists, drugstores or
sex shops.

             Sharing
             syringes and
             needles
 

Very high risk. Use of the same
needle and syringe by several
people constitutes a very high
risk.

Advice: Avoid at all costs.

Never share needles and
syringes.
Sterilise injection kits.
