1 :
A condom is effective (most current studies) about 88% of the time. This is on average. They are almost 98% effective if they are used correctly every time a person has sexual intercourse.This of course allows for a condom breaking, which can occur.
2 :
Between 25 and 70 percent effective against getting pregnamt or an std according to studies. That is why it is recomended using a spermicide gel with the condome. That makes the percentage a little higher.
3 :
From what I have read, they can be up to 98% effective against the transmission of fluids if used carefully and correctly, but as little as 70-75% effective if used carelessly.
4 :
depends on what type of condom your using the % changes. Non-latex condoms dont actually effectively protect against HIV as the virus can get through the walls of them and should only be used for contraceptive purposes. Other condoms will protect you against HIV and pregnancy when you use them correctly, and using most condoms for anal sex is actually inadviseable as they are more likely to tear in this sort of situation!
