Good time guys
I have gotten some responding from you which really made me calm amd relax. I just would like to ask you that as you mentioned in other treads you are not doctors or experts, therefore how you say something which could be reliable. Please let us know that where you refer and what your references are to answer the questions?
I appreciate your voice as much as possible and hope to God bless you.

Silly Myth Number 2:

All Condoms have tiny or microscopic holes on them Fact: COME ON! The reason why condoms where created in the first place is to keep men and women from contracting, acquiring or transmitting diseases and of course to prevent pregnancies. This means that condoms go through intense clinical and factory quality checks to make sure that there are no holes on any of them.  

If the condom has not broken (remains intact) then you have zero risk of infection from both HIV and other STD's. Trust us when we tell you that you will know, without ANY doubt, that a condom has broken.

I have included a link that will show you how condoms are tested. While this video is about a particular brand of condom........ALL well known and trusted manufacturers of condoms put their product through similar rigorous testing.

If you have doubts about the information any of us gives you on this forum, you should speak with your own doctor.

Well done. Hope to be like that. Thanks for you quick responding.
By the way my only question is that how a condom works well?
Is the any possibility of tiny holes in condoms or it is an urban myth? As you and your peers mentioned, as long as a male condom is in tact after vaginal sex from women to men is fine and no dubt of zero risk, is it right?
