they really need to find another term, "condom compliance" sounds so Orwellian. Bottom line kids is that condoms suck, but they dont suck as much as STDs (especially HIV/AIDS). To be perfectly honest if I had to choose between sex with a condom or not getting any sexual activity, I would have to go with sexual abstinence (yes masterbation is far superior to condom sex). Condoms suck, AIDS sucks, Abstinence sucks, unfortunately Abstinence is the lesser of all evils.
Under a microscope in condom there are very little pors (milions of them), but they are there. The HIV virus is 100 smaller in comparison to such a por. So you can get HIV even when you always use condoms. The best way be loyal to our husband or a wife.
It is true that a single latex SHEET will have pores, but condoms are made of overlapping layers of latex sheets, and the pores don't overlap. So there aren't pores all the way through a finished condom. Oxygen molecules are smaller than HIV or the size of latex pores, but a condom can be used as a balloon. Likewise, water molecules are smaller than HIV or the size of latex pores, but a condom will hold water. When "condoms fail," it's usually because they're not used or used incorrectly.
You are absolutely correct however that condoms are not perfect protection and that being mutually faithful with an HIV- spouse is the best way to avoid the risk of HIV.
Maybe you're just a troll who wants to post an obnoxious comment. God help you if you're serious. Can you afford the nuisance and inconvenience of HIV, ARVs for HIV if you contract it, genital herpes, genital warts, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, sterility from sexually transmitted infections, unplanned pregnancies, etc.? Using a condom correctly every time for every act probably reduces your risk of all of these infections. I'd say you can't afford NOT to use condoms if you're sexually active!
However how can the statement "...are the only proven tool for preventing HIV transmission. A proven tool, not 100% foolproof in every instance forever. But if people would consistantly around the world always each and every time would use..." be any more realistic and attainable then chastity and monogamous relations which does guarantee 100%, and is the only thing that can?
So why was chastity not even mentioned as an option in this video?
Like his other dozen videos, this is a short excerpt from an unscripted, extemporaneous two-hour interview & Q&A. I excerpted short clips on specific topics. This one is on the topic of why it's important to use a condom every time if you choose to be sexually active. View his other video "Abstinence, Fidelity, Cultural Issues, and Cultural Change" for discussion of abstinence as a prevention technique.
This is Eric; I'm not a doctor. Oral sex (whether protected or unprotected) does pose a risk of HIV transmission in either direction, although the risk is lower than anal or vaginal sex. See our video "Some Ways You Can Contract HIV and the Risk of Each ONE" and wikipedia article on "HIV" for risk estimates. Get tested for HIV, follow your doctor's instructions for any follow-up testing, and use condoms if you choose to be sexually active in the future.
I have Latex Allergy and can not use Latex Condoms. I wrote a book
"LATEX IS NOT MY FRIEND' Amazon Ebook 2.95 - book 5.00 & up.
This book explain the truth about Latex Allergy.
