With 5.5 billion condoms distributed worldwide in 2023 and evidence that correct, consistent use can cut HIV risk by about 80 percent, this post explores how condom promotion fits into combination HIV prevention alongside testing, treatment, and viral suppression to help prevent new infections and protect against STIs.
Key Takeaways

- In 2023, 41.5% of adults with HIV knew their status (and condom use remains part of combination prevention).
- In 2023, 74.9% of adults with HIV were on treatment; condoms reduce onward transmission alongside treatment.
- In the US, 11.4% of pregnancies are attributed to contraceptive failure with typical condom use (as estimated by Guttmacher/CDC-style calculations).
- CDC reports pregnancy prevention effectiveness of condoms: 87% effective with typical use.
- CDC reports pregnancy prevention effectiveness of condoms: 98% effective with perfect use.

VerifiedCondom Use Prevalence Interpretation
With millions living with HIV, billions of condoms rolling out, and viral suppression and treatment doing their part, the statistics ultimately say one thing plainly and a little frustratingly: condoms are a proven, widely recommended, still not consistently used tool, so when people use them correctly and every time, the “new infections and deaths” storyline gets dramatically harder for HIV to write.
