HIV information is so sensitive because of the stigma associated with having the disease. Years ago, when HIV was a death sentence and there was little known about the ways in which it was spread, laws were established to make HIV medical information and the confidentiality surrounding it very strict. This was done to help protect those who suffer with the disease from suffering from discrimination which has been very severe in the past.

HIV/AIDS is a new condition yet it is very old. Over two decades down the road, people have deliberately failed to accept reality. HIV information is more or less like the scripture. It is ever old yet ever new. people will need to listen to the same thing several times before they change behavior. From the fact that HIV is mainly attributed to bad sexual practices and that sexual needs like other needs are insatiable. The continuous need that is never satisfied makes the hearer guilty of making the same mistakes time and again. At some point in time, people become complacent to the information and they end up opening both ears so that whatever information that comes in, exits through the other ear.

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!
