Condom care urged

NEW YORK - Many young men could use more instruction on proper condom use, according to the lead author of a new study that found nearly one in three experienced recent condom breakage.

Dr R Crosby of the University of Kentucky said men should also be instructed to avoid letting teeth, nails or other sharp objects to come in contact with a condom, and should never use scissors to open a package. He said sexually transmitted disease clinics should provide a range of sizes and brands so men can find the best fit.
