I'm not sure why there is a common
impression in the society that condoms
protect 100% from hiv, when i'm reading
that condoms can break or tear 3% of the
time and lambskin condoms don;t protect
from hiv at all??
Thanks all.

Studies suggest that there are are pin
sized holes or other defects in 12-15% of
all condoms and that 5% tear while being
used. While they are not 100% effective,
condoms are your best choice in preventing
the spread of hiv and other stds. More
people contract stds from improper use of
a condom, than from defective condoms.

There is one thing clear to me now. There
is no big lie than the fact that "condoms
protect from hiv/stds". Condoms do not
completely protect, they only reduce the
risk. No risk is 100000 times better than
reduced risk, so the best way to eliminate
hiv/std from the earth is through a decent
familty life.

Correct, the only 100% way of preventing
the spread of hiv via an infected partner
is abstinence.
