What should I do if condom broke during sex?
If a condom breaks during sexual activity, it's important to stay calm. Symptoms of concern include any unusual bleeding, discharge, or pain. Factors like wear and tear can contribute to breakage, so using lubricants and checking for damage beforehand can help prevent this. As a precaution, consider emergency contraception if pregnancy is a concern; it's most effective when taken promptly. Monitoring your health in the following days is wise, and if anything feels off, consulting a gynecologist is recommended. They can provide personalized advice and ensure your well-being.

Should I Use Prep for HIV Transmission Risk?
It's great to hear that your partner has been on ART and maintains an undetectable viral load, which significantly reduces the risk of transmission. Generally, if the viral load is consistently undetectable, the risk is extremely low, and PrEP may not be necessary. However, using condoms is still a recommended practice for additional protection against other sexually transmitted infections. I encourage you to consult with your sexologist to discuss your specific situation and to make informed decisions tailored to your needs.

Am I potentially pregnant after genital contact with protection?
It's understandable to feel concerned about a missed period, especially after the situation you described. While using protection significantly reduces the chance of pregnancy, no method is 100% effective. Stress, hormonal changes, or other factors can also delay your cycle. If you're worried, consider taking a home pregnancy test for clarity. If the test is positive or if your period doesn't start soon, it's wise to consult a gynecologist for personalized guidance.

Can seeds maintain vaginal health post masturbation?
Seeds can be beneficial for overall health due to their nutrients, but they are not a specific remedy for vaginal wellness. Maintaining genital hygiene, a balanced diet, and staying hydrated are crucial. If you notice discomfort, unusual discharge, or changes in odor, these may signal an issue that needs attention. It’s essential to listen to your body. If you're feeling uncertain or have specific concerns, I recommend consulting with a sexologist. They can provide personalized advice and address any health questions you may have to ensure your wellbeing.

Could New Unprotected Sex Affect My PEP Course?
It's understandable to feel concerned about potential exposure after unprotected intercourse, especially while on post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). PEP is effective in reducing the risk of HIV, but it must be taken consistently for the full course. It's important to monitor your health for any flu-like symptoms, which can indicate an infection. I strongly encourage you to consult sexologist to discuss your situation and possibly explore additional testing. They can provide tailored advice and support, ensuring both you and your girlfriend are safe and well-informed.
