I heard something on TV that said that condoms are only about 85 percent
effective at preventing HIV transmission. Is this true? Is it because
people are using condoms that are past their expiration dates, with oil
based lubricants or putting them on without leaving room at the end for
the ejaculate?

How often do fresh condoms fail to stop the transmission of the HIV
virus when used correctly? Thank you in advance for all replies.

I am TERRIBLY cruel to my cat. I tease him with a vine tendril
until he either jumps up in the air to bat at it or zooms around
in a circle until he gets too dizzy to stand up. What is cruel about
it is that I don't do it nearly as much as he wants me to.
