Its technically possible but because saliva has so little of the AIDs virus in it and because to actually get AIDs it needs to be in the bloodstream you'd need to literally drink buckets of saliva... which is rank but the virus would die in the buckets anyway because it needs a host.

Also with tears its impossible because the virus cannot survive outwith the body in tears either.

If condom's break so easily, why doesn't Trojan and what not make them stronger? It's not like it'd be bad for business. I mean it's not like someone would want to reuse a comdom, even if it wasn't broken.

Wouldn't it be a one-night stand or a lifetime WITHOUT herpes?

One last thing, can you seriously catch an STD by making contact with another human, even if no fluids are swapped? If so, holy sh** what CAN'T you catch an STD from anymore?

[Constantine]

They try but nothings perfect, yes it should be without it was a typo, and you can catch STDs from a public bathroom which was used by someone with one.

Dudes, some of you shouldnt even know what STD stands for :lol:

Anyways, i know in land of disposable AKA america, you make things on the cheap but over here in the UK condoms are really reliable.

And whoever said about loads of girls in their school were pregnant because "the condom broke" can kiss my arse. Im sorry but at that age it is most likely that they knew how to open their legs and lay there but didnt know what a condom was, hence the little child in them that has no hope of a decent life.

What a silly thing to say. We just showed our knowledge of the condom, which even you said was ahead of our age. People know how to use it.

Condoms are 97% effective, one hell of an unlucky school Kev :lol:

How effective is a male condom?

The typical use of male condoms, which is the average way most people use them, has a failure rate of 14-15%. This means that 14-15 people out of every 100 will become pregnant during the first year of use. Spermicidal agents increase the effectiveness to over 95% when used correctly and consistently. You should take a pregnancy test if you are experiencing any pregnancy symptoms.

Little off with that 97%, huh.

I've known what a comdom is since about 5. And STD since probably about 7 or 8.

The physical failure rate may be around 15% but the actual failure (as in sperm getting through and away home free) is only around 5% thanks to spermicides which kill any of those escaping buggers.

So that takes it to condoms are 95% percent effective and, depending on certain studys that value can change a couple percent in either direction so I'd say Ashley is pretty much spot on.

Well in the UK Condoms (most of) come with 'spermicidal agents' on them, "which boosts the effectiveness to over 95%"! I'm just talking what I know so don't get clever with me when I am infact right!
