A member asked:

Std but not hiv, how? even with condom?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Things to ponder: Germs transfer by direct contact or indirectly through body fluids. A condom does not cover all body surfaces where sexual fluids will touch. Condoms thus reduce but do not eliminate risk of STD's. The only way to avoid STD's is to avoid sexual encounters with a STD carrier.

Dr Ott and another doctor agreed

Hey, can i get hiv , stds buy protected anal receptive sex? the condom was intact i checked and blowed inside the air and he didnt cum in the condom
If you wear a condom and are safe can you still get any std, s HIV or any sti, s ?
I'm concerned because the condom looked like it didn't break. When does HIV or STD show up in a test?
If you only have 1 partner in sex & you don't use a condom is it still possible to get STDs or aids/ HIV just curious
If you wore a condom and you are certain the condom never broke then is it safe to assume you are protected from contracting HIV and other STDs that require exchanging of fluids?
