Condoms and STDs
kenleyva
Greetings fellow mongers. I was wondering if any of you ever acquired an std despite using a condom? The reason I ask is because I will be paying a visit to the world famous Hong Kong Club in Tijuana and want to do some "exploring" but I am worried. Am I good to go with a condom? Thanks guys.

Yes, you are still taking some risk, despite using a condom.
85% protection for HIV
same for Gonorrhea
maybe 50% for chlamydia
HPV 73%
Condoms are not 100% effective and -- if you study the data -- I think you can make a strong case that protected sex with 10 high-volume sex workers is actually more dangerous than unprotected with one partner whom you trust. Especially if you're both tested.
And just a reminder that above, you yourself admit to being an idiot. So you want to argue with yourself now?
