Hello sir I had sex with a sex worker in massage parlour with protection on but now I am afraid of hiv transmission and infections since some of the journals said hiv can pass through condoms as well and it's not effective and protective in nature .kindly help me what to do. I want to ask can I still contract hiv even if I use condom from the very beginning of sex? Thank you.

Well yes new studies have shown that condom doesn't protect against hiv, soo if the person is hiv positive then you have a higher risk of having hiv infection, do test after 90 days ,visit a virologist that will be better for u, don't be anxious there is treatment available now so nothing to worry about it,
