Risks of getting HIV if you put on a condom after starting sex – Dr. Ashoojit Kaur Anand

To explain what are the risk of getting HIV if a person has sex, that is it is called as the penal vaginal sex, that is the normal sex between a man and a woman and if they are not wearing a condom, the risk of getting HIV for a women from a man who has HIV is slightly more than form a man getting HIV. So a women getting HIV forma a man who has HIV is about 8 in 10, 0000 times so if she has sex for 10,000 times, she has a risk of getting HIV about 8 times in that 10,000 and for a man to get HIV for a woman is about 4 in 10,000 times, this is when a person is not wearing a condom. So if you are wearing a condom, the risk definitely drops. If you have already started having sex, that means there is a slight exposure because you have already had a contact and there is exchange of the body fluid, that is the vaginal fluid touches the penis. In this case there already has been a risk or it is similar to a condom breaks, so you need to also see a HIV specialist and ask for a post exposure prophylaxis if you suspect that you could be at a risk of getting HIV. That is if you do not know your partner well, or of you have more than one partner, then it is always better to go for something called as the post exposure prophylaxis, which is a combination of medicines which we normally give for people who have HIV, but these post exposure prophylaxis medicines are given for about 28 days and should be stated immediately within 72 hours after having an exposure and this will further reduce whatever risks you have by not using a condom or using a condom in between your sexual exposure.
