I need to ask some things since I am a bit embarrassed to ask my parents about it. I am 17 years old and I am planning to have sex with my boyfriend. We have been together for two months and I really want to sleep with him. Anyway, I am not stupid not to use protection, but I still need some advice. Is infection possible with condom? Are condoms the safest protection?

Well, the condoms are very useful if you do not want to get pregnant. Still, it would be better to by more quality condoms, since the cheaper ones can burst. But be aware that even good condoms can get damaged during the intercourse. Probably the safest way for not staying pregnant is that he does not ejaculate inside of you. As for infection, condoms are also excellent.

Please make sure you get well informed about ways of infectious transmissions before making sex.
Yes Condoms if used correctly are highly effective for protecting against STDs, but be aware that some STDs can be transmitted through skin to skin contact like genital warts for example. Also some STDs might be transmitted through oral sex...
I think it is very important to get well informed forehand about all the potential risk factours rather then coming back later and worrying about what could have went wrong.
