Condom Compliance: Use Condoms Correctly Every Time!

Phil Johnson, M.D. explains why it's so important to use a condom EVERY TIME you have sex with a person who is HIV positive or whose HIV status you do not know. The risk of HIV transmission is greatest right after a person has been first infected, even if an antibody test wouldn't show them as HIV positive yet. In studies of married couples where one partner was HIV positive and the other was HIV negative, if they used condoms EVERY time they had sex, there was no HIV transmission, but if they used the condom only sometimes, there was a significant risk.

@Marionroneedaney: So use polyurethane condoms instead.

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.

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.

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!

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.
