Patient's question:
The boyfriend I am dating had sex with her a few days ago, but he used a condom. I don't know if he has HIV, and I'm worried about getting infected. Is it easy to get infected with HIV when using a condom?Doctor's answer:
You don't need to worry as long as your boyfriend doesn't have AIDS. Paying attention to good hygiene habits will prevent the transmission of AIDS, but AIDS patients should avoid increasing the possibility of transmission. Generally, if you use a condom for the entire duration of sexual activity and ensure it is safe and undamaged, the chance of getting infected with AIDS is very low. If you still don't feel at ease, it's best to go to the hospital for a thorough AIDS antibody test to clarify whether you might have been exposed to AIDS again. If your boyfriend has AIDS, it's not advisable to continue the relationship. The probability of using condoms is very low, but if it happens again, the consequences will be severe, and your future will likely be ruined.
