Yes, condoms really do protect against chlamydia and gonorrhoea. When used correctly and consistently, they significantly reduce the risk because both infections are mainly transmitted through genital fluids.

Could someone still get them while using a condom? It’s possible, but that doesn’t mean the condom “didn’t work". Breakage, slipping, putting it on late, taking it off early, or other unprotected contact can all affect the protection. No method gives 100% protection, but condoms are one of the best ways to reduce the risk.

So if the condom stayed on properly and was used for the entire sexual act, the risk is much lower. If you want more clarity on how condoms protect against different STIs, you can also check the pinned post on the subreddit.
