Is the 2% for condoms mean it has a 2% chance of breaking?

Its a lot.. don't fool yourself
even the trojan commercial where they are talking about the spread of HIV in very small print in the corner says "helps reduce the risk."
Depending on how the condom is used, the correct size, the places it goes, how its stored, etc.. I would say they would break or become ineffective somewhere in the ballpark of 3% to 50% of the time.
the only 100% is to not have sex to begin with.

It is 99% effective but the other 1% I guess is the chance of it breaking or slipping off.

99% success rate
so 1% chance of breaking
