HIV Penetration through a condom

HIV penetrate through a condom I'm afraid of contracting it
 
HIV cannot pass through condoms. Under laboratory conditions, condoms have been shown to be impermeable to HIV. However, condoms can slip during sexual intercourse, they can break, they may not be worn properly, or they may have degenerated if they are old or not stored properly. In such cases, HIV can be transmitted even if condoms are used. The most effective way to prevent transmission of HIV is for the HIV positive partner to take Anti Retroviral Therapy and to use condoms during sexual intercourse. Post Exposure and Pre Exposure Prophylaxis is available in some regions. You may consult your doctor or a HIV counsellor regarding these.
