The answer is: "I should use a condom for oral, vaginal, and anal sex."

Explanation for each option:

  1. "Oil-based lubricant should be used for comfort."

    • This is incorrect. Oil-based lubricants can weaken latex condoms, increasing the risk of breakage. Water-based or silicone-based lubricants are recommended for use with latex condoms.
  2. "Condoms should be cleaned with alcohol prior to reuse."

    • This is incorrect. Condoms are designed for single use only. Reusing condoms, even if cleaned, significantly increases the risk of breakage and infection.
  3. "I should use a condom for oral, vaginal, and anal sex."

    • This is correct. Using condoms for all types of sexual activity (oral, vaginal, and anal) is important for reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies.
  4. "Using an internal and external condom simultaneously will further decrease the risk of infection."

    • This is incorrect. Using both an internal (female) condom and an external (male) condom at the same time can cause friction, leading to breakage or slippage, which actually increases the risk of infection.

By understanding and following the correct guidelines for condom use, individuals can effectively reduce the risk of STIs and unintended pregnancies.
