Not even close - the failure rate for condoms over the course of a year is as high as 30%, however that's only measuring their effectiveness as birth control - a virus is a lot smaller with studies showing a much higher failure rate for AIDS sized particles. The tests only show the possibility of an aids sized particle getting through, so the infection is still lower, but do you really want to take a chance.

With other infections such as HPV, the failure rate is much higher, with infection rates not much different than riding bareback. (HPV infection causes the vast majority of cervical cancer and genital warts)

Communication is the key and going to marriage seminars together helps you figure out the rest. (highly recommend "Family Life Weekend to Remember".) Attend a conference - FamilyLife.com

I agree communication is the key. We have attended a couple of the Weekends to remember. Great stuff. Most people say that marriage is 50/50. I contend that that is not the truth. Marriage is more like 60/40. Sometimes I give 60%, she gives 40%, the rest of the time she gives 60% and I give 40%. We never go to bed mad at each other. We always work it out. Trust me me have had some long nights!

One and only marriage, 17 years last Sept. We are committed for the long haul. You have to learn to leave work at work and home at home. Makes you a better spouse and a better tech.
