At 98% effective, have sex 49 times and you will likely get pregnant or an STD. Or, 1 out of every 49 people who have sex only once will get pregnant or an STD. The numbers look a little different when presented this way.
The chances aren't one in fifty out of every time you have sex, they are one in fifty
every time you have sex. Your numbers would be mathmaticly correct if you had sex with the
same condom fifty times, but when you take into account the fact that you have a different condom eacth time, the numbers for the failures get significantly lower
I have serious doubts that the condom companies would ever spin their statistics to make the condoms look less effective. If that is really the way condom companies are basing their statistics that they were really talking about the same condom, please provide some kind of source to support yourself.
It has nothing to do with the condom companies, It has to do with the statistic.
A condom, if used right, has a 2% failure rate. That mean that there is a one in fifty chance that
one condom will fail, not one in fifty that a differnet condom will fail. The statistics are for each condom, not all of them.

Your numbers also don't take into account:
-The number of people who have STDs. You have to be with someone who's infected beofre you can even take into account the failure rate of the condom.
-The fact that you can get an STD screening. Just make sure you and your partner get one, and are clean and the chances of coming into contact with an STD are virtually, if not completely, eliminated.
Screenings aren't: walk into the clinic, get a blood test, and leave knowing you have no STDs. The results can take longer than a month for HIV alone.
Many couples who get screened before having sex don't wish to wait that long.
Wrong.
HIV facts
How long does it take to get results?
Results from the most commonly used HIV antibody screening test, the ELISA, are not available for 1-2 weeks. A "rapid test" is available for screening. It produces quick results, usually within 5 to 30 minutes.

-The fact that their are certain times when a woman can't get pregant. The average woman only ovualtes (is able to get pregnant) for two days out of her twenty eight day cycle. These two days usually fal between the 10th and 18th days of her cycle. So, if you do it on the right time, you can have sex with a girl hundreds of times and not get her pregnant.
A woman can get pregnant at any time during the month. The likelyhood of getting pregnant changes based on where she is in the cycle.
Wrong again. http://www.knowmycycle.com/phases-menstrual-cycle.aspx
Did you take a basic health course?

-The fact that, even if the woman is ovulating, and there is no condom, there is only about a fifty percent chance she'll become pregnant.

Keep in mind, that those statistics are for women who are trying to get pregnant, I.E. no birthcontrol or contraception of any kind.

-The fact that most condoms have spermicide, so even if some sperm gets through, it will most likely be kiiled.
The effectiveness statistics take this into account. If they did not, why would the companies ever spin their numbers to make their condoms look less effective? The male body produces many chemicals as it releases sperm to protect it, which severely dampens the effect of the spermicide.
Once again, it has nothing to do with the condom companies.
And even if the spermicide didn't work, or had a low rate of success, take a look at the statistics above.

Take a deeper look at the problem next time, and don't just take the numbers at hand.
You seem far too confident in these "safe" sex methods.
Far to confident? I think I'm just confindent enough, considering:
a) I have done my own research and not relied on teen rumors or pro abstinance propaganda to teach me.
b) After having sex more times than I can remember, with 21 different people, I have yet to deal with catching an STD or getting a girl pregnant (which, accourding to your satistics, would have happened at least once by now). Which I attribute to the fact of not being uneducated when it comes to sex and protection.
