Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a virgin, and so is my boyfriend, and we want to have sex. I have not received all HPV shots, and neither of us has any diseases. We plan to use a condom. Is it safe?
Please suggest.
Hi,
We welcome you to icliniq family.
I appreciate the confidence you place in me for your healthcare consultation.
I understand your concern.
If both of you are confident about not having any significant infections, then it is fine to have sex with a condom. Make sure to complete the HPV vaccination on time. HPV (human papillomavirus) infection on the cervix, which can lead to cervical cancer, occurs when semen comes in contact with the cervix. However, this risk is reduced significantly when using a condom. Ensure you have a good understanding of how to properly use a condom. It should be used before ejaculation, as pre-seminal fluid contains a high concentration of sperm. Be careful when removing the condom to avoid tearing or spilling. Even semen spilled onto the thighs can lead to pregnancy, as sperm can swim up into the uterus.
I hope you find this information useful. Feel free to ask for more information.
Thank you.
