Patient's question:
I have a friend who is particularly fond of going to nightclubs and bars. Of course, after a few drinks, other things might happen. Sometimes I remind him that this isn't good, but if he accidentally meets someone with AIDS, he says it's no big deal because he always uses condoms. Do condoms prevent AIDS?Doctor's answer:
Condoms can reduce the risk of getting AIDS, but they are not completely effective in preventing it. So, if someone has unsafe sex and the other party has AIDS, transmission of the disease can occur through contact with bodily fluids. Therefore, a good preventive measure in such situations is to avoid engaging in unsafe sexual practices. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to sexual hygiene and maintain good personal hygiene.
