Dear Anon,
Thanks for your question to EmpowHer!
Condoms—when used correctly and consistently—prevent pregnancy about 98 percent of the time. The typical effectiveness rate—where mistakes are made or condoms break—is about 82 percent. So, I'd say you are safe in the scenario that you describe.
Best, Helena
