they are reported to be about 98% effective in the prevention of STD's (sexually transmitted diseases). They are not foolproof in that they have been known to break at the wrong time, and some of them actually bleed allowing fluids to seep through the material. The safest bet is abstinence, but we know that in reality that will not likely be the case for many people. The next best thing is to know you partner and use the condom.

After reading what everyone wrote, I can't believe the answers they gave.
Please allow me to give it a shot...........Condoms can only protect against HIV/AIDS transmission through the penis......... that's why condoms were designed. Other possible exposure activities include oral sex, dental work and intravenous drug use. This is just the tip of the ice burg..........no one has mentioned all the other sexually transmitted diseases.........So many people only focus on these areas and forget about the rest. All of these disease can cause very serious and complicated damage to the female and male reproductive organs....It's not the condom that protects, it's the person's mental state of mind that will save lives............ thanks for asking, good luck and stay safe..it's your life you may be saving.......

There's a story that when aids first took hold in Africa, the Red Cross, and others, took it upon themselves to teach the population about condoms.
They would show people how to use them by putting them on the end of broomsticks.
Apparently people couldn't understand why they still caught aids,
even though they had put condoms on their brooms.
Must have the safest brooms in the world, eh.

I believe on the condom package it states may not prevent HIV. Only way of doing that is not having sex or know your partner very well.

yeah sure it does but one is not totally safe.
like in India, condoms are only successful 85% of the time, which is really low, as compared to 97% in the States. But that should not stop people from using condoms as they are the most cost-effective way of birth control etc.

It helps protect against STDs but it is not 100% effective. You could get it other ways too such as oral sex, french kissing, touching a cut that person has and you have an open sore too (blood to blood contact). So be careful and sleep with only people you know who have been tested for STDs and are clean.

No. The virus cell is smaller than the porosity of a condom, therefore, it can get through, but by the time it leaves the body and gets into you by passing through the condom, it'll most likely be dead.

well yeah its the best protection we have. but nonoxidal 9 the spermicidal lubricant does cause microtears in the vaginal wall so it can up chances for spreading if a condom is worn and then not worn but wrap it everytime its the best way to also prevent STDs
