Is it safe to use condoms for HIV?

The use of condoms (commonly known as condoms) is not always safe for people living with HIV. AIDS, a chronic infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is also known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The disease can be transmitted mainly through sexual contact, blood, and from mother to child. Because the semen or vaginal secretions of HIV-infected people contain a large number of viruses, when having sex with HIV-infected people, condoms should be used strictly and correctly, and safe sexual behavior is still relatively safe. However, if the condom does not fit the genitals well or is torn and undetected, the virus can easily enter the body through these holes and HIV infection can occur. There is also a high risk of the condom falling off during intercourse. If you have high-risk sex or suspect that you may be infected with HIV, it is important to seek medical screening.
