Reservoir Condom

Hi all,

I have a lot of times sex with a condom. But sometimes i see no semen on the tip in the reservoir. But the semen is than in the condom. After the sex i roll the condom out nothing wrong to see. Dont see a break or someting. Now im not sure is the condom than protect me or have i do it wrong? Im so scared.


And is a 4gen test after 8,5 weeks enough?

Thanks.

This is an hiv prevention forum, not a condom reservoir forum. If you are still curious about reservoirs, maybe you should talk to your doctor.

If a condom fails it is a large rip down the seam and it hangs by the ring in tatters. Both people notice it and it is hard to take off. A test is a waste of time since you are protected. Close inspections that you are doing are a waste of time - the semen or vaginal fluids do not burrow through the condom. Move on and stop worrying over nothing.

Anxious Thanks for your reply. But is it normal that the reservoir the tip of the condom sometimes is filled and sometimes not?

Sorry for double asking.
