Quick Question

Well I already know the rhetoric of HIV prevention intact Condom means no risk for HIV, however I used a different condom the Lelo Hex ( the thin honeycomb feels like nothing on, hard to break one from Sweden sold here in the USA). I never had unprotected sex so when having intercourse things got real warm and wet ( The wetness was from receiving unprotected oral and sweat maybe?) I got scared and pulled out.... condom completely intact. I was received oral with the condom on and it looked ripped we stopped and it just slipped up never leaving the head pulled it back down... condom intact. Now the problem is I never used these thin close to real skin condoms so maybe that was it. Now Lelo Hex claims their condom can hold up to a pin prick and not break however they do say that any break with there condom is noticeable. Any more info on this would help oh and I guess I need to hear no risk move on with my life :)

Just caught the tail end of this post, so perhaps I'm way off topic and if so, I apologize. Everybody is happier with thinner condoms, but please make sure you NEVER use  Lambskin condoms. These condoms are made from animal membranes that contain tiny holes. These natural holes are too small for SPERM to pass through, so they are excellent if preventing pregnancy is your only concern. They should NEVER be used to prevent the transmission of HIV or STD's as these viruses are much smaller than sperm and easily pass through the holes. I shall butt out now.

I never would use a lambskin condom I knew they weren't safe. This is the first time I used an ultra thin condom and Lelo Hex is known to transfer heat real well. I never have had unprotected sex so i don't know what that feels like so it scared me when I felt the heat

Any break with any condom is noticeable because it is down the seam and the condom is in tatters. Oral is not a risk so that part of your episode is irrelevant. No condom can protect against all std so you should visit the std forum for more info.

But as far as HIV I am stating the obvious I am good I am guessing
Yes you are good, and sorry I should have provided a more obvious answer before.
Thank you really my fear comes from using a thin condom as this was my first time using one with so much sensitivity
