Question
thanks for your site and inputs
i never knew few things about infections,std and hiv though been very clean and mongamous kind of person.
I have two question and have read lot of things which are scary and also educative in this world.

1.suppose a woman who has vaginal odor before starting of sex,which she is aware of and i understand the reasons can be so many but having muitlpte partners is reason enough.
first does she have hiv or any other infection.
assuming whatever
if condom used correctly can a woman still get above based on vagina smell and its relations to other issues and bacteria travel while condom is still on.

second question is that keeping all things different and they woman has hiv in her vagina who are not clean and who have odor or who cum they have more changes of infecting others.if they have hiv or not may be they themselves dont know.

is condom garutnee all this changes to zero in all these situation and in general.if sex last only five minutes or so and quickly pullled out cleaned and leave.

thanks


Answer
I did not understand all of your questions but I think I get the idea of what you are asking. Vaginal smell has nothing to do with HIV. You cannot smell HIV.

If you use condoms every time you have sex, and in the right way, you are 98-99% protected from the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
