Help me put this myth about condoms to rest once and for all

Help me put this myth about condoms to rest once and for all

1.Do Condoms leak or do they break wide open to the point not even a blind person could miss it..
Because I remember a few years back about a girl telling me she was worried about getting pregnant because they noticed a leakage.

2. How affective is an intact condom ( meaning it does not break for vaginal and anal)?

3. If condoms are 100% in theory could i have sex with every one on the planet with a Trojan and never catch hiv?
(I will most definitely not be doing that just asking for hypothetical purposes)

4.So do you recommend people that have had sex with questionable hiv people to go get tested even if they wore a condom..even if it did not break??

5. Lastly..Can one conclude that if he never shares needles and always uses a condom for all forms of sex (Vaginal,anal and oral ) that he will never be infected with hiv?  

I think this thread will answer all peoples questions about how affective a condom is and what happens during a condom failure...

Thank you..

condom failure is catastrophic...when you go to take off the condom...you will see an exposed penis.

the use of a latex, polyurethane, or polyisoprene condom will prevent hiv infection.

Hey Lizzie Can I ask you one more quick question...

If I masterbate someone and anthor person's precum get on a small cutt on my hand can I become infected?? I dont think any got on but i guess you never know..

So if some did get on the cutt do i have reason to worry??? If the other person is +??



The cutt is really small...like 1mm big and was never bleeding at any time. And most likely a day old..

Thanks Lizzie
