What are the chances/statistics of contracting HIV if you used protection?

Question

I'm just curious... what are the odds of getting HIV if a condom was used? Have there been cases of people getting it while using protection? I know herpes can be spread this way, so can HIV? Thanks.

Answer 1

If you used it properly and it din't break you wont get HIV.

Answer 2

I THINK I HEAD THAT A CONDOM IS 99.9 AFFECTIVE IDK IM DUMB BUT YAHOO HAS SOME GOOD ANSWERS  

Answer 3

Condoms are not 100% effective, they can break, but the odds of becoming infected are MUCH lower that if no condom was used. So I would strongly use the condoms on a regular basis.

Answer 4

It is simple. If it is used properly and does not break, then you are protected against HIV. Condoms are very effective in HIV prevention.

HIV is not a game of chances and statistics. You are either protected or you are not. If you are not, you have a chance of contracting HIV. Vaginal s*x carries a risk of  1 to 1000 per exposure. The risk is low. But it is possible that you get it the first time you have unprotected s*x OR it is possible that you have 1000 intercourse and still do not get it. It is just a number. You hvae to protect yourself and do not rely on chances/statistics.

Keep up the good work of using condoms when you do not know the status of your partner.
