jus wondering if there has been any documented causes of anyone contracting HIV when using condoms correctly and consistenly.

i had used a condom for my first expereince.. with a korean CSW.. protected oral and vaginal lasted about 3-4 minutes i ejaculated inside of her and pulled out. condom had not ripped. i had gotten tested about 3 weeks ago and i had called my doctors for the result. they had informed me that there had been a mix up at the testing lab and that i should come in for retesting. should i consider retesting? was i at risk?

you guys are right... i dont know.. i have a severe paranoia problem and anxiety cuz of this incident.. i was perfectly fine but the guilt kicked in of what i had done (since i had cheated on my girlfriend) but ive put that behind me now. i guess i have OCD or something cuz im having a hard time letting go of all this. even though condoms may be 98% effective and what not.. i could be that 2% f***er.

so whats the deal with "condoms are highly effective when used correctly and consistently" does that mean that theyre 100% effective when used correctly and consistently at blocking hiv? and does that 2% account for breakage/slippage and incorrect and inconsistent use?

That's what the condoms for man...to protect your penis and the rest of your body from HIV & STD's-Dizam.Safe sex is not a maybe it will help some, it's a highly effective means of keeping your health intact..so don't test after each encounter and don't worry. I would say that if you are going to engage in intercourse exclusively with csw's-test for all STD's & HIV on an annual basis. Please feel free to ask anymore questions you have about hiv prevention you may have since you are just becoming sexually active-also make certain you know all the means and ways hiv & std's are transmitted before going forward anymore Dizam. Stay safe, stay healthy, and always use protection for all types of sex, EVERY time my friend.
