What are the chances of getting HIV if you use a condom?
Question:
Answers:
We cannot give you a "percentage" because this really isn't known.
Natural-membrane condoms (sheepskin and lambskin) condoms are not considered effective against STDs beause they have naturally-occuring holes. Sperm is too large to fit through these holes; bacteria and viruses are not.
Latex condoms, says the FDA, do not have these naturally-occurring holes. However, very few people check expiration dates on condoms. The FDA requires that both USA-made and imported condoms be tested thoroughly for holes and defects.
Your chances for HIV transmittal if you use a condom EVERY time (including oral sex!)? Very, very low.
However, realize that HIV is transmitted through other body fluids besides semen, such as blood. If vomit and urine contain blood, they are also considered infected. You do not need to "see" the blood for it to be present.
My question for clients who ask this question? "Why are you having sex with someone you have to protect yourself from?"
The condom is the most secure method against HIV. Unless it breaks :( during...
Technically close to zero, but you have to be careful about other things too:
- Is the condom not too old (seee the package) ?
- Was it put on carefully ?
- Didn't you use some oil-based product to slide better (oil is bad for condoms) ?
- Did you remove it for a fellation ?
- ...
If you're sure about these, you can go for it safely
High...honestly condoms dont work i've seen many ppl say "i used a condom nothing will happen" but then either she gets pregnant or some sorta STD (sexually transmitted disease) occurs. And HIV is one of the more harmful STD's so you might wanna watch out. But if you really wanna have sex..then make sure your partner is STD free or has no recent activity that may cause harm to u...so if u are only worried about hiv...make sure he doesnt have it... hope this helps... and basically be safe...
minimal. talk to your partner before sharing needles or having sex.
the chances are slim
that depends on three things:
a)the material the condom is made up of. polyurethane types are far better than latex condoms.
b)the state of the condom. if its too old, or if you have used an oil base lube, chances are you have compromised the integrity of the barrier.
c)method of usage: improper usage is the most important reason both for transmission of disease and also pregnancy inspite of using a condom.
if u wear a condom that doesnt nessasarly mean u cant get hiv u can get it through kissing as well
