Depends on the size of the holes. Always check before suiting up.

Sheepskin condoms aren't a good defence from HIV/AIDS because the virus is able to pass through the holes.
The virus isn't able to pass through the holes of latex condoms as they are too small - they are the best to use.

When used properly, latex condoms will prevent HIV transmission. HIV cannot permeate the latex. However, sheepskin or "natural" skin condoms are not as effective, the HIV virus can fit through the 'holes' in these condoms.

latex condoms don't have holes, what are you people talking about? no one uses sheepskin condoms unless you're allergic to latex, condoms are virtually 100% effective in preventing transmission of HIV, and the HIV virus is microscopic, but it only travels through bodily fluids and blood, so if bodily fluids or blood can't travel through latex, then HIV can't travel through latex, use common sense people.

No, unless you have a big hole in the condom. Always use a good quality condom.

Only if you're using the sheepskin ones. You're not protected frm the HIV virus with these only with the latex ones
