Greening. Permission granted for Note: non-commercial reproduction. Archive-number: 2442 I always test condoms by inflating them, but this does not seem to be an effective way to detect microscopic pores that could allow the AIDS virus through. I understand that condoms for human use are a highly effective barrier, but what about veterinary condoms? They are not made for the same purpose, so are they unsafe as a means of protection? Please understand that I am not attempting to be facetious, nor is my inquiry in regards to beastality. I am not able to wear ordinary condoms. I have not received answers from manufacturers of veterinary condoms. My apologies for using an alias against network rules, but please understand my need for privacy.
