Condom Failures

Sir,

Although I am always careful, I had two episodes of condom failure during penetrative sex with the same female prostitute within a span of a month.
While single episodes of condom failure are considered to be very low risk, do two episodes alter the risk.

I'll appreciate your advice to relieve my anxiety.

There are no symptoms after 50 days of the first condom failure and I plan to get tested after 90 days, anyway.

The only reason you would have a condom failure is incorrect use. Not enough lube being used.
