When use right, condoms are highly effective at preventing HIV and many other sexually transmitted infections. So make sure you know the steps to use them correctly.
Here is a video showing the steps for how to use a “female condom” for anal sex. The cartoon gets a little explicit at times so make sure you are in place that is private enough for you to watch it comfortably.
