Question 1

do all condoms prevent aids equally?

Accepted Answer

NO !!!: Read the packages carefully.  The "natural" condoms usually do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (std's) including hiv/aids, hepatitis, herpes, etc.  The labeling will often say natural, lambskin, ultra sensitive, etc.   Sperm are big, but bacteria and viruses are small: get the condom that protects you from both.  Also remember, no condom is 100% effective.   Be careful out there!

Safe sex is best for protection.

are there drugs that prevent hiv from ever turning into aids?

Accepted Answer

Antiretrovirals: There are drugs called antiretrovirals that when taken in combinations (often three drugs at one time) can extend the lives of patients with HIV for many decades.  These drugs can result in boosted immune function (preservation of high cd4+ cell counts) and can reduce measurable viral loads to undetectable levels.  These drug combinations are, however, not a 'cure' for hiv.
