A member asked:

Do you have to have unprotected sex more than once to get aids/hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This sounds low, but lots of people have sex, and one of those people could get HIV with the first time. Always use a condom. That is the best way to enjoy someone special and stay safe.
