Hi Docs... Will it lower down the risk of exposure to HIV if use condom at the begining and then continued with the unprotected sex? I did not get others responses other than teak response.

Are they also symptoms of early HIV? Wish to hear from u.... Thanks

This is not the Dr's forums...


Common sense would tell you the longer the exposure, the greater the chances.

No. If you take off the condom, you lose the protection.

The longer you expose yourself the greater the risk. But you did have unprotected sex and should test yourself at some point.
