Response from Dr. Remien
 When a condom is used consistently, the risk of infection is very low. Studies have repeatedly shown that consistent and CORRECT condom use prevents the transmission of HIV within mixed status couples, in most cases. Nobody can tell you that it is impossible for it to occur, but short of abstinence, consistent condom use is the best HIV prevention. |
