A condom is not 100% effective against any STD (sexually transmitted disease), but it is effective enough as long as you use the condom properly. If the person you are with is HIV+ (positive), then you have to be careful when it comes to saliva and blood and any body fluids.

Unless the condom breaks there is an incredibly small chance of getting HIV, millions to one. There was a disinformation campaign started by the catholic church that condoms did not prevent HIV to try to discourage the use of birth control.

It is still possible. Condoms are defective at times and will break. There is also an exchange of saliva and possible open sores on the person with aids.
A condom is a help in protecting yourself, as is foam and other prophalectics, but not a guarantee.

yes. it can help prevent the spread of hiv but it is not full proof. the cells in hiv are smaller than the holes in the condom and can pass right throw it so be care full cuz the only true way to not get it is to have you partner tested and always be true to each other

Yes...unless you use a full-body condom and keep a 10-foot distance from the HIV carrier.

You will be safe if the condom does not burst and even your partner is infected with HIV. If your partner is not infected with HIV, you will be again safe even your condom bursts. It is advisable to avoid sex with strangers and in case it is necessary for you to have sex, use double condom for safety. Take care and be in good health.

You should just eliminate this risk altogether. It's stupid to have sex with someone with aids, yes there is a chance you will get it. And it's a lifetime that you will have it, and it will eventually kill you and you won't be able to have kids safely. Just don't do it, sex isn't that important. Do you really not get the chance to have sex so much that you will risk having it with someone with aids? To answer your question, yes you can, but the chance isn't that high.

Possible, but less likely. If the "rubber breaks" you could still get AIDS, or syphilis, or ghonnorea, or herpes, or some other STD. Generally speaking, it is not a great idea to have sex with a woman whose medical history is a mystery.
Bottom line - sex is real fun, but its function is procreation. You should have intercourse only with sexual partners with whom you intend to make babies, because there is always Always ALWAYS a chance of doing so.
Cheers, and happy screwing.

There is a chance as condom is not 100% safe. It just lowers the chances.
