Patient's question:
I have developed balanitis recently, and it hasn't healed yet. The night before yesterday and last night, I had sex twice with a woman who might be carrying HIV. The first night, I didn't wear a condom and had unprotected intercourse. The third night, I wore a condom after about two or three minutes and had intercourse inside the condom. How likely is it that I could be infected with HIV?Doctor's answer:
Unprotected or incomplete condom use during sexual activity is high-risk behavior and highly likely to lead to sexually transmitted infections. Worrying is useless; after six weeks, go to the disease control center for half-price HIV antibody testing. If it's negative, it's ruled out. Be monogamous, or others won't be able to help you. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of outbreaks. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment.
