Can i rely on condoms because i am getting some mixed information like i go to this {{{REMOVED}}} i think and they say that condoms arent effective in preventing hiv which scares me. Then i go to some other sites and they say they are fully effective now im hearin mixed information on the net and tv and every where. Every where i go hiv follows the commercials on tv scare me. I had sex wit a girl that was supposedly that had the potential to be full of std's, she had many sexual partners over a 100 i beleive and now that scares me i didnt want to have sex with her i just did cuz my friends pressured me and wow do i regret that day it has caused all my nerves in my brain to fry from thinking too much now i feel like a 70 yr old man. About a month after having sex with her (protected) i started to feel my stomach hurt a little and 3 weeks later it started to hurt big time and i vomited for a day but it went away. It was an intense stomach pain so i went to about 3 doctors the next day and the gastrologist stuck a tube in me and said that i had gastritis. then i went to the other doc and she put one of those machines like the ones to see the baby inside of u i forget wat there called and she said that it looked fine except for a slight problem in the liver so she told me to do some bloodwork, then i went to the blood doc and she told me to get tested for 10 diseases from hiv to toxmosplosmosis the tests came back the same day and they all came back negative. I was relieved until i found out about the 3 month window period since i had only been tested a month and a half after the sex. Now i am experiencing muscle twitchings all over my legs and its really annoying i am really goin insane on this one. Im 17 yrs old and im really too shy to guy and get tested by myself, I would like ur own opinions thank you

if a condom is used properly and there is no defect is 99% effective in preventing HIV. that is laytex i am talking about.
