A member asked:
Are condoms effective for preventing hiv?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very: They are the mainstay of HIV prevention when one partner is infected and the other is not. It would be difficult to overstate their value. Even people whose philosophic positions do not allow for artificial birth control have encouraged their use for preventing the transmission of HIV and other diseases.
