What precautions should be taken if a condom is torn during sexual intercourse with sex partner?
If a condom tears during sexual intercourse, then pull out quickly and replace the condom. While having sex, it is better to check the condom some time, to make sure it hasn’t split or slipped off. If the condom has torn and it feels that semen has come out of the condom during sex, one should consider getting emergency contraception with due consultation of a physician or a gynaecologist. However, even though you may prevent unintended pregnancy, you may possibly get infections like STIs/HIV if your partner has any of these infections. You must visit a VCTC and should find out what to do if you suspect/know that your partner may have an STI/HIV.
