Hey um my girlfriend is taking birth control pills and I'm just wondering can that protect from hiv?

J_9 · Jan 20, 2008, 07:13 PM

No. Nothing protects from HIV accept for abstinence.

What about condoms

J_9 · Jan 20, 2008, 07:42 PM

Condoms help, but they aren't 100% effective.

Oh yeah, it's spelled WHAT not what, we don't do text language here.

Ooh sorry lol umm I was just looking at a site and it says sti is transmitted by genital skins touching is that true

How old are you?

HIV/AIDS is not transmitted via contact of skin, but rather body fluids. Herpes on the other hand can be transmitted via skin-to-skin contact.

Way too young to even be thinking of sex. You have more to worry about besides AIDS if you have sex at your age. How about fatherhood? Are you ready to be a parent? Can you afford a baby? Do you have a job, or rather a career? A place of your own?

Pregnancy is more real at your age than is AIDS.

heartlessblackcupid · Jan 20, 2008, 08:02 PM

Nope

Then you may want to re-think sex. Your chances of getting your girlfriend pregnant are higher than you getting AIDS

She's on the pill and I have 2 use a condom at the same time

J_9 · Jan 20, 2008, 08:06 PM

Doesn't matter. There is no 100% effective method of birth control or risk of disease besides abstinence.

Chances are less that she will get pregnant if you use both forms of birth control, but it is not guaranteed.

Wow... because THAT is smart.

2 condoms at the same time? THAT is using a condom correctly!

I got pregnant at 16 on the pill, using a spermicide, and he was using a condom. Correctly.

Yes, STIs are a concern, but so is pregnancy. The only SURE way of preventing either is by abstaining.

If as stated in another one of your threads that you don't care if partner cheats on you and 'uses' you, I suggest you either use 2 condoms at the same time.. or stop with the sex already. There are other things in life that someone your age should be concerned about - and in my opinion, education, in all parts of life should be more important to you if you plan on living a long, healthy, and happy life.

Good luck.
