Hi to All,
Anyone know why FDA says that Condoms are not 100% safe in preventing HIV even if they are used properly and not break throughout the whole sexual encounter process? I m asking because i had a protected sexual encounter with a Sex Worker (illegal one) the condom didn't fail and i had peace of mind till last nigh that i read about this in FDA.
Anyone with an answer?
Thanks in adavnce

They don't.
Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are highly effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In addition, consistent and correct use of latex condoms reduces the risk of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including diseases transmitted by genital secretions, and to a lesser degree, genital ulcer diseases. Condom use may reduce the risk for genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and HPV-associated diseases, e.g., genital warts and cervical cancer.
Laboratory studies have demonstrated that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of STD pathogens.
