    Aids
    :confused: dear sir/madam,
    I just want to know that how is AIDS mainly transmitted during sexual contact if the person is using condom. And after how much time do the symptoms of AIDS show up after the virus has entered your body.

    If the person is using a condom HIV (virus leading up to AIDS) is not usually transmitted. However, if the condom breaks or if any fluids are combined before putting on a condom, this can transmit the virus. It can take years for symptoms to show up actually. MAny people live with the virus and don't know they have it. If you get tested, antibodies don't normally show up on blood tests until 3-6 months after contact with the virus.
