Male condoms have an effectiveness rate of about 98% with perfect use, meaning that only 2 out of 100 couples using them consistently and correctly will experience an unintended pregnancy in a year. However, with typical use, the effectiveness drops to around 85%, as improper or inconsistent use can lead to failure. Additionally, male condoms are effective in reducing the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) when used correctly.
