Are condoms effective?

I had recently sex (vaginal sex) with my new partner. There was not oral sex . Each vaginal encounter was protected and condoms were intact...they did not break. My new partner is sexually active and she practices one-night stand. Do I need testing form what I have described?

Nope! As long as the Condom is used from start to finish and covers the head of the penis then there is no risk :)

Would be impossible as the urethra opening would be covered preventing the virus from entering.
