If a condom doesn't break then it's 100% effective. When a condom breaks you fails in a manner that you will know it failed and then there is PEP.

- huytersd 3y agoI think there’s a chance of getting it if the condom rolls/bunches up as well.
- Grazester 3y agoThis usually the result of poor condom use/knowledge, like condom breakage. If the condom is too big this can happen or you become flaccid(it's a thing to also check to make use that this isn't happening during intercourse), and condoms can break when you don't use lubricant or the incorrect lubricant(e.g. petroleum jelly based lubricant).
- FFP999 3y agoThere's no such thing as "100% effective".
- Grazester 3y agoAbstinence is as they like to tell you. But really most of the margin for infection for condoms is the result of poor use.
- FFP999 3y agoOk sure, abstinence, but talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

- Gibbon1 3y agoYes the quoted effectiveness is based on the average in practice. Anecdotally what I've seen is the failure of condoms is usually got drunk and didn't use one. In particular substance abuse is highly correlated with unsafe sex and HIV infection. I'm pretty sure it's also correlated with birth control failure.
