contacting hiv from using a condom with pin size hole

contacting hiv from using a condom with pin size hole

Good morning , I am a male who engaged in protected sex with an HIV+ woman . After the encounter i tested the condom by filling it with water to check for leaks. I discovered a tiny pin size hole about three inches down from the ring of the condom , the rubber band thing that reaches the base of the penis. My question is , what are my chances of contracting hiv from this encounter if the lady vaginal secretion got into the hole while having intercourse.
Also can vaginal secretion seep into the condom if the condom isn't snugly fit , i notice that sometime the inside of the condom is very wet even when i do not discharge inside the condom , i was wondering if that slime could be from the lady. Your answer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Condoms do not develop pin size holes in them. If a condom gets a hole in it, it breaks wide open. They are designed that way. So this pin size hole that you think was there, either was not there or was made when taking the condom off.

You did not have a risk.

#1...we dont produce "slime"

#2...if your condom is not snug...you might want to consider buying smaller condoms that fit your size better.

Hello teak , I'v read that condoms don't develop pin size hole , and if a condom has a pin size hole the break completely. My question is , what if the sex is not vigourous sex , meaning that the person takes their time while having sex because the person they are having sex with is hiv positive , what about timing in which the hole developed meaning that you may have finished having sex say 1 min after the hole developed and third what if the person's penis is not very big which reduces the amount of stretching the condoms undergoes. I think all these things must be taken into consideration before you can say condoms dont have hole and if they do the fail CATASTRAPHICALY.

There is no such thing as pin sized holes in condoms. If there is a weakness in the condom it will break catastrophically due to the stress of intercourse. You need to stop overthinking this- you were protected.
