• Ukuthatha

Yintoni ikhondomu yesikhumba setakane?

Iikhondom zoboya begusha nazo zihlala zibizwa ngokuba “ziikhondom zendalo zolusu.” Igama elichanekileyo lolu hlobo lwekhondom "yikhondomu yelindle yendalo."

Igama elithi "lambskin" liyalahlekisa njengoko ezi khondom zingenakwenziwa kwinyama yemvu yokwenyani. Zenziwe nge-lamb cecum, eyingxowa ebekwe ekuqaleni kwethumbu elikhulu lemvana. Iikhondom ezenziwe ngamabhokhwe kunye namathumbu amatakane kunye nezinye izilwanyana sele zijikeleze amawaka eminyaka.

Ngaphandle kokukwazi kwabo ukuthintela ukukhulelwa kunye nokubonelela ngemvakalelo yendalo kunye nokusondelelana ngakumbi, iikhondom zeebhokhwe zeegusha zaqala ukuphulukana nokuthandwa emva kokuyilwa kweekhondom zelatex kwiminyaka yoo-1920.

Ukuthengiswa kweekhondom zempahla yemvu kwanda kwakhona kwiminyaka yoo-1980 emva kokukhutshwa kwengxelo yeSurgeon General ngengculaza. Oku kwahlala ixesha elifutshane, njengoko iikhondom ze-membrane zendalo zafunyanwa zingasebenzi kangako ekusasazeni izifo ezosulela ngokwabelana ngesondo.

Iikhondom zeMvana zeMvana kunye neekhondom zelatex

Nalu uhlengahlengiso olufutshane lwendlela iikhondom zexhwane lemvu ethelekiswa neekhondom zelatex:

• Iikhondom zelatex zixhaphake kakhulu kwaye zifumaneka ngokulula kuneekhondom zempahla yemvana. Phantse iikhondom ezenziwe eUnited States ziikhondom zelatex. Ikhondom ye-membrane yendalo ilungile.
• Iikhondom zeMvana ezimnyama zibonakala zinika ubuntununtunu obonyukayo kwaye zivakalelwa ngakumbi ngokwendalo kuneekhondom zelatex. Bacingelwa ukuba bathumele ubushushu emzimbeni ngcono.
• Iikhondom zeWundlu lolunye uhlobo lweekhondom ze-latex zabantu abane-allergies ye-latex.
• Iikhondom, kubandakanya iikhondom zesikhumba semvana, ziyiipesenti ezingama-98 ezisebenzayo kuthintelo lokukhulelwa xa zisetyenziswe ngokuchanekileyo. Ukusetyenziswa gwenxa kwehlisa ukusebenza ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-85.
• Iikhondom zeMvana zibiza kakhulu kuneekhondom zelatex.
• Iikhondom zeMvana zeegusha zinokuboliswa ziintsholongwane. ILatex nayo inokuboliswa ziintsholongwane, kodwa uninzi lweekhondom lunee-materials ngaphandle kwelatex.
• Iikhondom zeMvana ezinokusetyenziswa nazo zonke iintlobo zokuthambisa, kubandakanya neoyile, ezingenakusetyenziswa ne-latex.
• Iikhondomu zendalo zendalo zokuthintela ii-STIs kunye ne-HIV, ngokutsho kwamaZiko oLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo (CDC).

Zisebenza njani iikhondom zesikhumba semvu?

Ikhondom inika isithintelo esigcina incindi yobudoda, ulwelo lobufazi, kunye negazi ekubeni lisuke kwelinye iqabane liye kwelinye xa lisabelana ngesondo. Oku kunceda ukukhusela ukukhulelwa kunye nokuhanjiswa kweentsholongwane kunye neebhaktheriya ezinokubangela i-HIV kunye ne-STIs.

Iikhondom zoboya begusha zisetyenziswa njengezinye iintlobo zeekhondom kwaye zinxitywe ngaphezulu kwelungu lobudoda. Ziyakhusela ekukhulelweni ngokuthintela ukudlula kwesidoda, kodwa azikhuseli ekusasazeni iintsholongwane.

Kungenxa yokuba iikhondom zeembumba zendalo ziqulethe iipore ezincinci, ngelixa zincinci ngokwaneleyo ukuba zinokuthintela isidoda, zikhulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba zivumele ukuvuza kwentsholongwane, ngokophando oluninzi. Ezi pores zinokufikelela kububanzi, obungaphezulu kwamaxesha ali-10 ubukhulu be-HIV kunye nangaphezulu kwamaxesha angama-25 ubukhulu be-virus ye-hepatitis B (HBV).

Ukuthintela ukusasazeka kwe-HIV kunye nezinye ii-STIs, kucetyiswa iikhondom zelatex. Ukuba uxabisa kwi-latex, kukho ezinye iindlela ezikhoyo:

• Iikhondom ezenziwe ngeplastikhi (ezinjengeekhondom zelininzi) zikhusela ekukhulelweni nakwii-STIs. Iikhondom zeplastiki ziphuka rhoqo kunelatex; ukusebenzisa i-lubricant esekwe emanzini- okanye i-silicone inokunceda ukuthintela ukwaphuka.
• Iikhondom ezenziwe ngerabha eyenziweyo (njengeikhondomu zepolyisoprene) zikhusela ekukhulelweni nakwii-STIs.

Iikhondom zisebenza kakhulu xa zisetyenziswe ngokuchanekileyo. Ngelixa uninzi lweentlobo zisetyenziswa ngendlela efanayo eqhelekileyo, soloko ufunda imiyalelo kwiphakheji yokuqinisekisa ukusetyenziswa okufanelekileyo.

Ukuthatha

Iikhondom zeMvana zinokuba lukhetho kwabo bachaphazelekayo kuphela ekuthinteleni ukukhulelwa, njengabantu kubudlelwane obuzinikeleyo abavavanye ukuba abanazo ii-STI.

Ukuba uxabisa kwi-latex, ukhetho olungcono lukhona kwiikhondom ze-lambskin. Umzekelo, iikhondom ze-polyurethane, ngokungafaniyo neekhondomu zegusha, zinokuthintela ukusasazeka kwee-STI kunye ne-HIV.
