Recently I had sex with my boy friend on a few occasions. Actually we were planning to marry. Later on I got information that he had sex with some others also and I stopped this relationship. We used condoms every time, but I'm not sure if it was enough protection against HIV. One of my friends told that HIV can get through the small holes in the rubber. Is it correct? I am scared of HIV. Is there any chance for to get the infection?
It is very unlikely for you to get an infection if your partner had used condoms when ever you had sexual intercourse. There are no holes in the condom. If used properly, condoms are some what good protection against HIV and many other sexually transmitted diseases.

Yes! You can get pregnant the first time you have sex if it is during your fertile period that is the ovulation time. If you want to avoid pregnancy, you should use birth control methods right from the first time you have sex.

No, you can’t. Swallowing semen is the same as eating something that passes through your digestive system. It can’t make you pregnant because your mouth or digestive system doesn’t have any connection with your reproductive system. But remember that you can get sexually transmitted diseases through oral sex if your partner is infected. So you should use a condom during oral sex.

Premature ejaculation is a condition in which the male partner ejaculates before he or his partner wishes.

Non consummation of marriage or an inablity to engage in sexual intercourse could be due to various reasons.

There is treatment for this problem. Both husband and wife need to undergo a clinical evaluation by a team of doctors consisting of sexologist, andrologist and gynecologist.

No. It depends on each individual's condition. For some women hymen may be intact and may experience a little pain and bleeding when it is ruptured during the first intercourse. This is one of the most common causes of pain during the first intercourse. The hymen can rupture due to several reasons such as excercise, dancing, jumping, running or some other causes. If the hymen is already broken women may not experince bleeding or pain. Many other physical and psychological factors like infections, tightness of vagina, fear of injury or pain, relationship problems etc can lead to pain. Couple needs physical examination and treatment if the pain persists indefinitely. What ever may be the cause it can be identified and treated successfully.

Safe period is the time in a woman's menstrual cycle during which there is no chances for conception. Ovulation period is the known as the fertile period. Safe period can be calculated correctly only if the periods had been regular for the previous 6 months. The normal menstrual cycle is 28 days, usually varies from 26 to 31 days with several days at the beginning that are infertile (safe), a period of fertility (fertile or ovulation period), and several days just before the next menstruation that are infertile (Safe). If it is a 28 days cycle ovulation is expected on the 14^th day. The first day of bleeding is considered as day one of the menstrual cycle. Days 1 to 7 and day 21 to rest of the cycle is calculated as "Safe Period" for individuals with regular 26-30 days cycles. In simple terms one week prior to and one week from the first day of a menstruation can be considered safe. But please remember that the so called safe period need not be safe always. It can go wrong when ever the periods become irregular.
