Introduction
"戴套" refers to using a condom. "艾滋" refers to AIDS. Under normal circumstances, whether HIV is transmitted while using condoms depends on how the condom is used. When used correctly and without damage, condoms can effectively prevent HIV transmission; however, improper use of condoms may lead to HIV transmission. It is also important to avoid high-risk behaviors such as having multiple sexual partners, sharing needles, and using unsafe blood products.
"戴套" refers to using a condom. "艾滋" refers to AIDS. Generally speaking, whether AIDS can be transmitted while using a condom depends on the way the condom is used. If used correctly and without damage, transmission of AIDS may not occur; however, improper use of condoms may lead to transmission of AIDS. Detailed analysis is as follows:
A condom is a physical barrier that can prevent viruses in semen or vaginal secretions from directly entering the partner's body. When used correctly and remains intact throughout the sexual contact, condoms can effectively reduce the risk of HIV transmission through sexual contact.
During sexual intercourse, if the condom breaks, slips off, is ill-fitting, or other high-risk behaviors occur during the sexual contact, the condom may lose its protective effect, thereby increasing the risk of HIV transmission.
It should be noted that using condoms during sexual activity is an effective way to prevent AIDS, but it is also important to avoid other high-risk behaviors, such as having multiple sexual partners, sharing needles, or using unsafe blood products.
