Disease: Diaphragm Use and Care

Does a Diaphragm Protect Against Sexually Transmitted Diseases?

No. Using a diaphragm and spermicide may not protect against some sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, including HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). The male condom provides the best protection from most STDs.

How Do I Use a Diaphragm?

Spermicide should be put in and around the rim of the diaphragm no more than two hours before intercourse. The diaphragm is then inserted into the vagina. More spermicide should be inserted into the vagina each time you have sex. Do not remove the diaphragm for at least six hours after intercourse, but remove it within 24 hours.
