The Surgeon General has said, "Condoms provide some protection, but anal intercouse is simply too dangerous to practice."
Condoms may be more likely to break during anal intercourse than during other types of sex because of the greater amount of friction and other stresses involved.Even if the condom doesn't break, anal intercourse is very risky
because it can cause tissue in the rectum to tear and bleed. These
tears allow disease germs to pass more easily from one partner to the
other.
