DO NOT GET ADVICE like this on a forum like this! There is no checks or balances to the advice that you get. Do a search and stick to reliable sites like the ama, the cdc, etc. Here is what you need to know: LATEX condoms are the only effective barrier if used perfectly... however, nothing is 100% ever, so be safe in your actions and decisions.

The condom—latex or polyurethane, male or female—is the only technology available to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV.[15]
Laboratory studies show that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of HIV and other STI pathogens.[2] Studies show that polyurethane condoms also provide effective barriers against sperm, bacteria, and viruses such as HIV.[1]
Several studies clearly show that condom breakage rates in this country are less than two percent. Most of the breakage and slippage is likely due to incorrect use rather than to the condoms' quality.[1]

YES! it is true even though the condom may not appear to be broken the HIV virus can still pass through the rubbber through microscopic holes in the condom especially since the HIV virus is so small.

It depends on the material it's made from.

There actually is no such thing as a solid material. Every material is made of molecules, and there's space between the molecules. If the space is larger than the virus, the virus can pass through the material.

It has nothing to do with tearing or not tearing.

yes...True.The diameter of the virus is smaller than the(pores) holes in the condom that make it flexible.
