Patient's question:
Last night, while I was having sex with my girlfriend, the condom broke. At first, I didn't realize it, but I noticed after about a minute and replaced it with a new one. Could I get HIV from this?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The chance of infection in your situation is almost zero. It is recommended that you do not worry too much. A broken condom may cause a small amount of semen to come into contact, but the chance of infection is very low. If your girlfriend does not have AIDS, you can be certain that you will not be infected. Even if she does have AIDS, the chance of infection in your described situation is almost zero. After all, you quickly put on a new condom, and the contact caused by the break should also be very minimal. I hope my explanation can be helpful to you.
