Abstract:
A panel of more than two dozen experts reviewed the scientific evidence on condom effectiveness for sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention, and a final report was released July 20, 2001, by the Department of Health and Human Services. This panel was cosponsored and convened for a two-day workshop by four government agencies (Agency for International Development, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], and the National Institutes of Health [NIH]).
