A member asked:

If i used a condom and she applied lubricant on it and i touch the condom after sex and smell it, will i get hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: The circumstance you described has low risk for getting hiv. For you to get hiv, your sexual partner would have to positive for hiv, you would have to have open sore on your hand where you touched the contaminated condom. Smelling does not matter.
