is my partner infected

I am female HIV+
My partner is HIV- we had sex two times...
Using condoms infact used two condoms for being extra sure....
And condom didn't break or slip....
So,
can my boyfriend get infected...?
1.Can HIV pass through two layer of latex?
2. Or can it crawl from shaft to urethra...


We both love each other and decided to be in a monogamous relationship...??
How do we have safe sex??
Or No-risk sex ???

Any advice....

Hi, my advice would be as below.

1) Since you are HIV positive, you need to take your ART medication thoroughly.
2) You need to inform your partner about your status (I think you have already done that).
3) You can practice penetrative sex, how ever, use only one condom which is not expired, use lots of water based lubricants so that penetration is smoother and there isn't any friction. DO NOT practice anal sex strictly as condom failures are reported more as the anal area is tight and friction occurs. If you substain from penetrative sex its better but in practicality that doesnt work with some couple so follow above guidelines.
4) Congratulations, you have found true love. HIV+ and HIV- couples are rarely seen and I wish you all the success in life.

two condoms which did not fail means a better protection(just for a peace of mind) its not a advice just based on recent activities??
i will use only one condom next time if we have penetrative sex...
so if we used condom and it dose not break...then there no concern...?
if we wish to have penitrative sex we use condoms.?

about out protected sex do i advise him to get tested...condom didnt break...they were exactly what they were before sex....

thank you..

2 condoms together do not mean double protection, in fact, failure risk is higher due to internal friction.

Yes you can have safe relationship if you are wise enough to use protection correctly and consistently. However you must keep one point in mind, a condom protected sex, which provides 100% protection against HIV, turns otherwise as soon as the protection fails.

If you do not indulge into penetrative sex, it is much safer and better for you. Mutual masturbation does not put anyone at HIV risk

Since you  have used condom no risk but using two condoms is not a good idea as it may lead to friction and tearing of condoms...........
