What Should I Do if the Condom Breaks?

Avoid future accidents
Once the immediate crisis is over, says Perry N. Halkitis, PhD, a psychologist specializing in HIV at New York University, put some thought into why the condom broke. "These accidents don't happen easily," he says. "Are you using condoms correctly? Are you using the right kind of lube? Are the condoms old or expired? It's important to identify the problem so you can avoid an accident in the future."
