If you don't know whether your partner is HIV free or not, then always use a new condom every time you have sex . Currently condoms are available in a variety of different shapes, colors, textures, ingredients and flavors, and condoms are available for both men and women.
Use a condom immediately after an erection, not before ejaculation. Remember, HIV can be transmitted before ejaculation occurs, because the virus can be found in the pre-ejaculate fluid.
Use condoms made from latex or polyurethane (latex and polyurethane) when having sex. Latex condoms have 5 micron pores (0.00002 inches), 10 times smaller than sperm. Research shows that condoms made from latex are very effective in preventing the entry of HIV.
