When Does a Condom Stops Working?? Help
Posted: 09-25-06 21:39pm

Recently I had a sexual relationship with a girl with a questionable health.. As I am worried of std's and aids, I took all the preventions neccesary.. But the problem is that she provided me the condom.. It looked fine at every step of the intercourse, but I really dont know when does a condom stops working? Is it if it breaks?? Or is it possible to be infected through a condom that fisicly looks intact?

Since the day after the relationship, I have felt badly.. With a lot of headaches, stomach problems and diseanes.. Please help me.!

A condom stops working when it either breaks, falls off, or gets a hole in it. Unless this woman is running a mill out of her basement to create condoms that have been infected with stds, I think you should be okay...Assuming the condom remained intact. But, by all means, use this as a lesson to carry your own condoms - for all you know, she may have poked a hole in the condom before giving it to you, and this would increase your chance for contracting venereal diseases as well as impregnating her.

If you are very worried about this, you can get tested. The current symptoms you're experiencing could be the result of many things, but stomach problems are not signs of an std, as far as I know.

very good points.

It should be stressed that if a person does not disclose whether or not he/she has any std's, that's illegal and one could go to jail for doing that. Be careful
