2 condoms
An HIV + male had on two condoms, we had vaginal intercourse (i was on top)...not for very long time......as soon as i got off of him (condoms still on), I saw him ejaculate into the condom. i did not see anything leaking out...everything seemed to be in the first condom. i inspected the condoms the next day and noticed the internal condom was full of semen, mainly at the top and the outer condom seemed to move loosley around the outside, as though it had never come in contact with semen from the first condom. I am very scared and worried and mad with myself for what I did. What are my chances of getting past this without having contracted HIV?
Thanks for your time.

Condoms are made that if they fail it's catastrophic. You are not going to get small tears or holes.
So you are saying that the doctor has said that small tears in condom will cause obvious breaks? I wasn't able to find the post you were referring to.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Apparently not, tinhttp://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/79
Back_to_forumy tears will break the condom according to the doctor.

are condom failures very obvious, or can there be tiny tears that you would never notice? still seems like that even if there was slight tear, your odds are better than never having been protected at all. any comments? just sitting here suffering from the anxiety of it all, so any dialogue with anyone would be peaceful.
Building on what Daniel said,
CDC describes the ABC of safe sex as follows,
A Abstinence
B Be Loyal
C Condom
Considering the fact that your life is too precious to be compromised on anything more than absolute zero risk, (condom has never been a zero risk barrier for STD's) I changed "Condom" with "Commitment" . As long as anyone of us would follow this ABC, fear free life he can enjoy, and I have started to practice what I derived.

Condoms are not 100% safe, I wore a condom and got chlamydia.
It may have slipped on and off as I was thrusting.

I totally agree with what Teak had said.
However, this should be a lesson for you. From now on, use only one condom at a time. Using two condoms at a time, including two male condoms or a male and a female condom, can increase friction and it can also lead to breakage.
I believe you don't have to worry as long as the condom didn't break. It's "protected sex" when the condom doesn't fail or break.
If you wanna make sure that you are negative. Wait three months and get a negative result.

Replies from Teak and Shaken are accurate. Condomes are not like locks, as two locks are better than one for protection. Mutual friction of the two carries even greater risk of failure.
I regularly use condoms and am disappointed with the breakage rate. I never carry the extra lube. I can't beleive nobody has invented and unbreakable condom. Right now I'm 2 weeks into suffering from large lymph nodes, night sweats and mild flu like symptoms...I'm worried sick and can't wait to take my 4 week test
Teak I was about to say the same thing!
Using two condoms cause more friction,or the top condom can pull the bottom condom causing it to slip off.

No Risk of HIV...enjoy life and stop worrying...if you want further peace of mind..get tested in 6 weeks..but i dont c any risk here..enjoy
it might be condom sensitivity if it's been that long since you had sex but the only way to know if you have any other STDs is to get tested.
Thanks so much for your rapid response. I am having a lot of anxiety. I have redness and sensitivity around my vaginal opening. This is the first time in many years that I have had penetrative sex. Could it just be condom sensitivity...or possible std?
super fine i would think. latex doesnt allow semen or any other fluids to leak out of it because of its chemical composition. the only way for it to happen is if the condom broke which it didn't. FYI two condoms causes more friction.. ie the condom is more likly to break and that is bad!.so anyway..NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR IT TO GO INSIDE YOU!
Have a nice day ;)

Have an Answer?
You are reading content posted in the HIV Prevention Community
Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
