Does a condom provide full protection against unwanted pregnancy and STDs?

I like to know if the use of condoms can provide full protection against unwanted pregnancy. I also like to know if total risk can be eliminated by properly handling and using the condoms to provide full protection against STDs.

Condoms are the only contraceptives that can provide full protection against unwanted pregnancy and STDs. However, the use of condom does not totally eliminate these risks because accidental slip off and breakage can occur. After ejaculation, always hold the base of the condom before withdrawing from vagina and avoid using any oil based lubricants on the condom as this can cause breakage.
