Hello, Anon! Thank you for posting today.

When used correctly and consistently, condoms are highly effective in preventing sexually transmitted diseases (STD) that are transmitted through bodily fluids, including chlamydia and gonorrhea. They also effectively prevent the spread of HIV. If a condom should tear or come off during sex and you are concerned that you have been exposed to an STD, you should speak to your doctor about your risk and get tested.

Both HCV (Hepatitis C) and HIV are bloodborne viruses. Using injected drugs is a significant risk factor for both viral infections. Although sexual transmission of HCV is less common than HIV, it can happen if there is direct exposure to blood containing HCV.
