24 year marriage ended and dating
Hello.
53 year old. I ended a 24 year old marriage. Recently started dating. My husband and I never had use for condoms and there really was no need for them. I am seeing someone new and we spoke about protection. I have a few questions regarding latex condoms and protection:
1. When are condoms not effective in protecting against HIV?
2. Do I need to test for HIV even though we use protection?
Appreciated.

What I am trying to say is this...besides a condom "breaking" or "slipping off during" sex, what else am I missing that would make condom use "unsafe"?
I am aware of that. Would the remote chance that he a fraction of the condom on withdrawal compromise my safety?
we had intercourse. I am unsure if the condom we had used was compromised in any way.
What would make the circumstances "not safe" with a condom?
