If you have sex with someone with AIDS, but used a condom, would you still get it?

Question

I didn't do it, so don't tell me that I have HIV.
My friend and I got in a big debate over this, and I want to know the answer.

I think that you would get it no matter what, because the virus is small enough to leak through the rubber of the condom.
My friend, on the other hand, says that there is a 99.8% chance that you will be just fine.

What is the correct answer?
Thanks!

Answer 1

your friend is worng and your right. if any type of leak and her fulids came in contact w/ yours. its a 99% chance of you getting hiv.

Answer 2

WOW, there is a lot of WRONG info on here. There is absolutely no way that HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) can pass through intact latex. NO WAY, NO HOW. Protected sex is exactly that, PROTECTED. However, if the condom breaks, or slips, then transmission could occur. The CDC estimates that the per risk incident of acquiring HIV through completely unprotected penile-vaginal sex is 10 per 10,000 exposures. I suggest that you check out www.thebody.com or google "the body". It is an excellent resource for HIV questions. It should be noted that for the condom to work effectively, it needs to be used properly. If you don't know how, ask....no shame in that! Take care

Answer 3

Since no vaccine for HIV is available the only way to prevent infection by the virus is to avoid behaviors that put a person at risk of infection,such as sharing needles and having unprotected sex.

Because many people infected with HIV have no symptoms,there is no way of knowing with certainty whether a sexual partner is infected unless he or she has been repeatedly tested for the virus or has engaged in any risky behavior.CDC recommends that people either abstain from sex or protect themselves by using male latex condoms whenever having oral ,anal or vaginal sex.Only male condoms made of latex should be used,and water -based lubricants should be used with latex condoms.

Although some laboratory evidence shows that spermicides can kill HIV organisms,in clinical trails,researchers have not found that these products can pervent HIV.So please,be careful!

Answer 4

Again..no definite percentages for a yes but the answer to a possibility is a resounding YES. The HIV virus is a lot smaller than sperm and I believe we all know that a condom is not 100% effective against preventing pregnancy. Even prostitutes that use safe sex...ie condoms get tested for STD's and HIV on a regular basis.(if they can afford to)

Answer 5

Condoms are not 100% protection against tiny sperm, millions of which are ejaculated at a time. The AIDS virus is 500 TIMES SMALLER than a sperm cell. There's your answer. Someone who says that 99% of the time it will be just fine, is a fool in denial, as well as in sin.

Answer 6

I think your friend is right IF the condom was used properly and it didn't break, well maybe not 99.8%, I am sure it says on the condom package. I think it is 96% effective or something like that.

Answer 7

You can get it if A. The condom breaks or tears, B. The condom is not used properly, C. Semen spills out in or near your vagina or @ss D you were having unprotected oral sex. Barring those, you are very unlikely to get it.

Answer 8

Hey,
Listen it all depends if there is a leakage or the condom broke . whoever did it to say that they condom didnt break and it was a well recognsed condom, for protecting stds you or whoever probably would not. if it was to break or come off that is another thing entirely.

Answer 9

Their is a chance you could get aid condoms aren't 100% effective.

Answer 10

Probably if a mistake is made and any body fluids from the other person gets into your body. It isn't worth the chance.
