如果我开始使用PrEP，是否可以在性爱时不带避孕套？

如果我开始使用PrEP，是否可以在性爱时不带避孕套？

不可以，您不应该因为使用了PrEP而停止使用避孕套。PrEP并不能为您提供对其他性传播疾病（如淋病和衣原体感染）的保护。而且，虽然如果每日按时服用，PrEP可以显著减少HIV感染的风险，但结合使用避孕套等其他防护措施，能够进一步降低您的风险。

每次发生性行为时，正确使用避孕套可以有效预防HIV及某些通过体液传播的性传播疾病，如淋病和衣原体感染。然而，避孕套对通过皮肤接触传播的性传播疾病（如人乳头状瘤病毒或HPV（生殖器疣）、生殖器疱疹和梅毒）提供的保护较少。有关避孕套如何有效预防HIV的信息，您可以参考相关资料，并学习如何正确使用男性避孕套。

If I start using PrEP, can I stop using condoms during sex?

No, you should not stop using condoms because you are taking PrEP. PrEP does not provide any protection against other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. While PrEP can significantly reduce your risk of HIV infection if taken daily, combining it with other protective strategies like using condoms can further reduce your risk.

When used correctly every time you have sex, condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV and some STDs that are transmitted through bodily fluids, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. However, they offer less protection against STDs spread through skin-to-skin contact, such as human papillomavirus (HPV, which causes genital warts), genital herpes, and syphilis.
