AIDS is a result of HIV infection. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that cause genital sores may make it easier for HIV to enter the body and cause infection. Other STDs produce inflammation, which may increase the chances of HIV infection too. Using a latex condom consistently and correctly during sex greatly reduces the risk of HIV infection as well as other STDs.
