HIV virus seeded in condom
May 17, 2012

Is it possible that HIV could be seeded into a condom and then subsequently infect the user?

Response from Dr. Hightow-Weidman

Hello there- I have never heard of such a thing but I'm certainly assuming you aren't using a previously used condom that had been discarded by another user of such condom. I would strongly encourage you using your own condoms however (meaning those that are individually wrapped and NEW). Take care,

LHW
