Condoms have a 9% to 14% failure rate.

Failure is caused by various factors including improper storage, not putting the condom on correctly, insufficient lubrication, rough handling etc.

mate, the only way to be 100% safe is to avoid all sexual activities.

There is no such thing as 100% safe, even drinking water can cause you to choke and die.

And if the other party is infected, why are you still persistant in having sex with her/him? get the person to get treated instead.

Like what boss has said, condoms are susceptible to failures. Stay at home and jerk off to some porn, that way you will be very safe.

Condoms are never 100% safe, but at least it puts you in a low risk situation.

Is "Safe Sex" Really Safe?

With the alarming number of HIV/AIDS cases, safe sex has become a life or death issue. Are condoms a true form of protection against the HIV/AIDS virus and against the multitude of other sexually transmittable diseases?

Can condoms actually prevent pregnancy? You need to know the unbiased facts! No sane person takes a chance with their life, based on temperamental personal convictions, passionate hype, unproven opinions or clever advertising. Whether or not to practice safe sex is a life-altering decision that you must base solely on facts! Be crystal clear on this point: your life is literally hanging in the balance! The wrong decision could be disastrous!

What Is Safe Sex?
Safe sex is the sexual activity (especially sexual intercourse) with the use of measures (such as latex condoms) to prevent pregnancy and stop the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (especially AIDS).

Where Did “Safe Sex,” Get Started?
The first AIDS cases were reportedly identified somewhere between 1979 and 1981. After 1985, AIDS was a literal death threat for any sexually active person. Due to the media coverage, the possibility of contracting the AIDS virus loomed on the minds of many. Some started reevaluating their position on promiscuity, orgies and one-night stands. Not to be outdone by AIDS, certain individuals began searching for ways to continue satisfying their sexual cravings without getting burned. Hence the term, “Safe Sex.” By all accounts, the belief in “Safe Sex,” originated from a number of possible sources.

First, there was a study on condom use reported by James Gittard as part of a 1987 Presidential AIDS Commission. Mr. Gittard reportedly tracked 130 couples, of which one of the partners was HIV positive. All of the couples devoted themselves to the research and committed to using the condom during sexual intercourse. A year into the study, not one person contracted the HIV virus from their HIV infected partner. Gittard revealed his optimistic findings to the Commission, and from there, it appeared as though condoms were the answer to curbing the deadly AIDS virus. The results of that research may have been the birth of “Safe Sex.”

But their success was short lived. The reason was because the study was only one year long. That time frame was not sufficient to prove or refute if the condom was an effective device to protect against the AIDS virus. In the subsequent years, the results started to cast major doubts on the effectiveness of condoms as a safe sex device. After three years, four couples had seroconverted, and after the fourth year, seven individuals got the bad news that had been infected by their partner. The study revealed an alarming 24 percent failure rate!

Secondly, a 1986 article in Newsweek by Barbara Kantrowitz stated, “Condoms seemed to be the most reliable form of protection against the AIDS virus...” From that point on, condom sales rose from $182 million in 1980 to an astonishing $338 million in 1986. The “Safe Sex,” revolution was in full gear!

Originally only used as a form of birth control, condoms were then promoted as a prime safe sex device and the best method to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

Here are some of the advertisements by condom manufacturers and other people who aggressively promote safe sex.

"Condoms can protect any person no matter what color they are! "

"Condoms are extremely effective in prevention of sexually transmitted diseases"

"Condoms are the best way to protect yourself and your partner from many STDs"

"If you are using condoms correctly, you will not get pregnant!"

"The condom renders HIV harmless by preventing the virus from replicating!"

"AIDS is a fact! When you teach your daughter the facts of life, remember the most important fact: Condoms make sex… safer"

You read what they had to say, is it really safe to put your confidence in condoms? Should you trust what the condom manufacturers, advertisers and self-interest groups say about safe sex?

Before you answer those questions above , read the unbiased opinions of the true experts…

THE TRUTH ABOUT "SAFE SEX" LEAKS OUT AT LAST!

Are Condoms Safe?
A spokesman from the rubber chemistry industry answers
The Washington Times, Wednesday April 22, 1992

"My only comment is to point out that the rubber comprising latex condoms has intrinsic voids about 5 microns (0.0002 inches) in size. Since this is roughly 10 times smaller than sperm, the latter we effectively blocked in ideal circumstances.

The 12 percent failure rate of condoms in preventing pregnancy is attributable to in situ cracking, removal. ozone deterioration from improper sealing, manufactured defects, etc.

Contrarily, the AIDS virus is only 0.1 micron (4 millionths of an inch) in size. Since this is a factor of 50 smaller than the voids inherent in rubber, the virus can readily pass through the condom should it find a passage.

A reluctance to stake one's life on the ability of a condom to prevent HIV infection bespeaks wisdom, not discrimination. "

“Saying that the use of condoms is ‘safe sex’ is in fact playing Russian roulette. A lot of people will die in this dangerous game.”

– Dr. Teresa Crenshaw, member of the U.S. Presidential AIDS Commission and past president of the American Association of Sex Educators.

Dr. Crenshaw, once asked a conference of sexologists if they had available the partner of their dreams, and knew that person carried the HIV virus, would they have sex, depending on a condom for protection? No hand was raised.

Dr. Crenshaw chastised the group for giving advice to others that they would not follow themselves. "The point is putting a mere balloon between a healthy body and a deadly disease is not safe."

In a study reported by Dr. Margaret Fishel to the III International Conference on AIDS, married couples with one HIV-free partner, using condoms for protection, tested HIV Positive in 17 percent of the cases after only one and one half years.

“Simply put, condoms fail. And condoms fail at a rate unacceptable for me as a physician to endorse them as a strategy to be promoted as meaningful AIDS protection.”
– Dr. Robert Renfield, chief of retro-viral research, Walter Reed Army Institute

----------------------------------------------------------------------

One test showed that 14.6 percent of condoms used in a clinical trial either broke or slipped off the penis during intercourse or withdrawal. A survey at a Manchester, England family planning clinic revealed that 52% of the respondents had experienced condom breakage or slippage during the past three months alone.

“…an "antiquated system of birth control."

- Although touted by many as the solution to the problem of STDs and unwanted pregnancy, condoms definitely are not. They have a poor record for prevention of pregnancy, with failure rates of up to 13% or more per year.

In preventing pregnancy, condoms have a standardized failure rate of 14.7 percent over the course of a year.

For teens living together, condoms users experienced an unplanned pregnancy over 50% percent of the time over the course of a year.

For teens not living together, condoms users experienced an unplanned pregnancy over 14-23% percent of the time over the course of a year.
