Protected s*x and hiv?

Question

if someone's female partner has HIV, is it still possible for him to contract it through protected s*x? if so, how possible, what are the odds?

Answer 1

Since it's hard for a female to give a man HIV in the 1st place even through unprotected s*x I'd say you'd be fine using a condom

Answer 2

Basically no, it would be really hard to contract it and the risk is small enough if you are wise that it wouldn't stop you having a fulfilling s*x life with your partner.  You can use barrier creams as well as condoms.  And they are effective - because if you believe they aren't, why would you use condoms at all with anyone, HIV+ or not?

Answer 3

If the s*x is protected, there is no chance of infection. As long as the condom is used correctly.  If to worried I would suggest female condoms, they are much stronger than a traditional latex condom.

Answer 4

No.

Not unless you're using the condom incorrectly, or it tears.

Condoms are practically 100% safe when they're used properly. It is when they are not used properly that they become less reliable.

Answer 5

The odds are still high whether you use condoms or femidoms because there are always risk of the v****a or the p***s bleeding and transmitting the virus through open wounds...

do it at your own risk...

p.s. condoms aren't 100% effective... they only 60% effective compared to female condoms, 70% effective. (i think this was a research done by durex)

Answer 6

Apparently condoms are supposed to be safe enough, I wouldn't like to chance it though, if I knew for definite the other person was HIV positive.

Answer 7

of course, using protection give u about a 70% chance of not getting HIV from your partner and only about a 30% u may becuz yes it is true you are protecting yourself but that doesnt mean ur super safe, in my opinion you shud go to the doctor and check yourself, or stop having s*x with your partner because you may obtain or may g already have HIV so go check yourself ASAP  

Answer 8

Condoms are known to be as an effective way to prevent HIV and most STDs. The odds are in your favor, just make sure to check the condom expiration date, and to check and make sure the condom does not have any tears and holes before putting it on. Good luck, and have a happy and safe s*x life :)  

Answer 9

Yes, you can contract it because the condom can break.  

Answer 10

Comdoms are very effective for HIV prevention IF and IF used correctly and consistently and do not break. To avoid breakage, use lots of water-based lubs. I know people who are HIV+ and their partner is not. So condoms work. Before commiting yourself in such a relationship, you should talk to your family doctor and he/she will give you advice on how to prevent contracting HIV. People have done it and you are not going to be the first one.

Answer 11

If properly used, a latex condom will greatly reduce the risk of aquiring HIV. However, natural membrane condoms, known most commonly as lambskin condoms, do not prevent the transmission of HIV. Serodiscordant couples, where one partner is negative and the other is positive, can be sexually active as long as the proper safe s*x practices are followed. The best advice is to consult a health care provider in order to develop an effective strategy for reducing the risk of transmission.
