Patient's question:
The testicular hair removal caused a small wound. After a day, the person had sexual intercourse again with the partner, using a condom which didn't break. Will they get HIV?Doctor's answer:
The transmission routes of AIDS include unprotected sexual behavior, mother-to-child transmission, and blood transmission. For HIV transmission to occur, there must be a source of infection and a transmission route, and both are essential. Pay attention to hygiene, avoid high-risk sexual behavior, and use condoms correctly. Based on the situation you described, if condoms were used correctly throughout, there is no need to be too anxious. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
