Can men have HIV if they wear condoms during anal sex?

Patient's question:

Anal sex, with a condom inserted. Afterward, we were afraid of getting AIDS because online sources said it was highly likely. Hello, can a man get AIDS from having sex with another man while wearing a condom?

Doctor's answer:

If there is a condom, it is generally absolutely impossible to transmit it. If the other party is an AIDS patient, there is a possibility of transmitting AIDS through direct contact with mucous membranes such as the mouth, anus, or through contact with virus-containing semen, vaginal secretions, or milk. It is important to maintain good living habits, avoid same-sex contact, practice safe sex, and prevent high-risk sexual activities to avoid transmission. In daily life, it is essential to be patient, stay chaste, avoid sex work and prostitution, and prevent high-risk sexual behaviors. Refrain from using drugs and sharing needles with others. Do not undergo surgery or use blood products without medical supervision.
