Which is larger - pore size of condom or aids virus? AIDS virus, otherwise the condom would not be any protection against it. if you are referring to the "natural" skin condom then the aids virus is smaller and can penetrate the condom and infect the user. however with latex condoms then the virus cannot penetrate any " pores" because their are not any, (in the same sense) as this is a man made substance Vs animal skin This is something you can test yourself. Take a condom and fill it full of water. Tie it off at the opening like a water balloon. Leave it overnight. You'll find the next morning that no water has escaped. Water molecules are MUCH smaller than the HIV virus, and so if water isn't escaping, neither will HIV. The aids virus is smaller than the pore sizeof a condom HOWEVER the aids virus can only survive inside the the cells of other bodily fluids, which are much, much larger than the pore size of a condom. "Simply put, condoms fail. And condoms fail at a rate unacceptable for me as a physician to endorse them as a strategy to be promoted as a meaningful AIDS protection." -- Dr. Robert Renfield, chief of retro-viral research, Walter Reed Army Institute (3). |
