Venereal disease: Latex condoms reduce the risk of transmission of HIV,herpes, chlamydia,trichomoniasis ,gonorrhea,but do not cure.. Conditions like chlamydia,gonorrhea, in women can impair fertility.Gonorrhea can make you very sick. HIV is now being treated when positive, and not when AIDS develops.Partners are treated so it doesn't pass back and forth. Please go to urgent care/doctor.Take care

Bad news: It is time to be seen. If your BF has a VD, you need to be evaluated in the office and proper testing done. Failure to do so can result in your sterility or long term complications. Since VD's often travel as a group, which germ or germs that you may have acquired need to be verified & proper treatment started.
