Which STDs do condoms NOT protect against?!


Question: I am just curious..


Answers: I am just curious..

Condoms are effective in the prevention of many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). There is evidence that condoms provide at least some protection against HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, trichomonas, genital warts and hepatitis B. It is not expected, however, that condoms will provide 100 percent protection against any infection.

There's no absolute guarantee even when you use a condom. But most experts believe that the risk of getting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases can be greatly reduced if a condom is used properly.

Crabs (pubic lice)

Condoms are only 75% effective against HIV and Hepatitis C, and Herpes during a out break . Those viruses are really small and can squeeze through any microscopic holes in the condom that the sperm wouldn't go through, especially if the condom is old, and/or has been exposed to heat or cold. Such as sat in the sun an hour or so, or was in your wallet for more then a few days, or was in your glove box for more then a week, stuff like that weakens the condom. And the Condoms made of sheep skin or pig skin, (actually, their made of the outer skin of their intestines) those aren't considered safe forms of protection against any STD's, although, they still protect against pregnancy to a certain degree. People only use those cause their so thin, but its not too wise really. Also, you can still get diseases doing oral, in case you were wondering that. Your best bet is to only have sex with some one you trust, preferably in a steady relationship, and only after you were both tested. HPV is another one, Thats a pretty sketchy one, cause guys are only carriers, and theirs so many different form of it.
