No the condom is not 100% safe, in fact, no form of birth control is 100% safe. The only sure way not to get pregnant is to abstain from sex.
Are you pregnant? I don't know, there is no way for me to tell over the internet. However, if you haven't had your period for 6 months, and the tests are negative (assuming you are using them correctly), it is time for a doctor's visit.

No, condoms if done perfecty have about a 97 percent effective rate.
Don't have the site, but the est is as used by most people, the over all rate is about 90 to 92 percent effective.
So a condom alone is not 100 percent. In fact there is no 100 percent effective except not having sex.
