If the condom didn't break but he came inside me, would it cause AIDS?
Question Posted Saturday December 5 2015, 10:49 am
Im not sure he's positive, cause he tells me he isn't (but who trusts anyone hahaha) still, I'm afraid this might give me AIDS, he came inside me, but he has a condom on and it clearly wasn't broken. So does that give me AIDS? Or is there a possibility?

Since transmission of the virus needs contact between certain live body fluids, if the condom is intact there was no contact. As mentioned, nothing can be termed absolutely zero-risk, but the risk is very low. Both of pregnancy and the transmission of HIV. Nobody can be absolutely certain they are HIV-negative unless they have had a blood test, or are 100 percent positive they have done nothing to acquire the virus. And of course, have not exposed themselves to the risk since the test. If you are in any doubt, and won't rest easily until you know for certain, take tests. I would be surprised if you tested positive based on this encounter though, even if he was HIV+. Which is by no means certain, apparently? The humble and simple condom, used correctly, really is extremely effective against the spread of HIV. [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]

Condoms are 99% effective but there's always that 1% risk. If you're worried see a doctor, as none of us on here are qualified doctors.
