0.00015% risk of HIV infection?!?

im going to africa soon, where on average out of the places im going to, 15% of people have HIV. con.doms are 2% likely to split when used correctly (ill use them correctly!). then according to this source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV#Transmi... there is a 0.0005% chance of getting HIV if you are the man and have vag.inal se.x. so that would mean i have a 0.00015% chance of getting HIV if i have se.x with an african woman and put a condom on correctly. surely its higher than this!! is the wikipedia information wrong? am i interpreting it incorrectly? is it actually THAT low?!
thanks

I never knew that people dont understand HIV this much!!! Condoms used well = 100% protection Unless one has oral sex and sores or broken skin. AS FOR africa or WHEREVER you go Contacting AIDS is not that easy unless you are CARELESS.
AS for AFRICANS having the dormant VIRUS is pure lie. AIDS was actually imported to Africa from AMERICA in the early 80s. Prof. Arthur Obel was the first to do clinical tests.

Know much about africa then talk.

yeah i guess so, very well calculated mr! thumbs up, i never thought bout it this way

no, not at all. you must understand the vast majority of africans DO have hiv in their system but lay dormant. i would not risk it for anything. if you are willing to have sex-even with a condom, the aids virus is so small, it is able to go through the tinyest holes in a perfectly functioning condom.

(lambskin condoms are extremly similar to regular condoms exept they are not ment to protect against hiv/aids b/c it's made out of a lamb's intestine...i do not reccomend you use these)

A lot of African countries do not report the true AIDS/HIV status of their population, for various reasons. AIDS can be transmitted through contact with an infected persons blood to. The safest thing to do is to refrain from having sex at all.
