Condoms don't get small holes. If they fail, they fail catastrophically.

Lambskin condoms have very small holes in them. The holes are smaller than sperm, so they are effective at preventing pregnancy. The holes are much larger than the HIV virus and other STD's, so they are not effective at preventing HIV or STD's.

Latex condoms do not have holes unless the entire thing tears... which you would know if that happened.
