How to react?
To limit the risk of STDs
Avoid harsh cleansers, settle for washing your vagina with warm water. Attention, this gesture does not protect against STDs but limits the risk of contagion. If blood, semen or vaginal fluid has come into contact with a wound, disinfect with alcohol or betadine.
If there is a risk of contagion, go to the nearest emergency room within 48 hours, which will be able to give you preventive treatment to avoid infection. You will then have to get tested for HIV within 15 days of having sex and then, obligatorily, 3 months later to be 100% sure that you have not been infected.
To avoid pregnancy
If you want to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, there is only one solution, the morning after pill (up to 72 hours after the act, but, if possible, within 12 hours after intercourse, so that its effectiveness is maximum. The longer you wait, the less guaranteed the result).

Some precautions to avoid breaking the condom
- Do not open the case with your teeth, scissors or other sharp objects. You would risk tampering with the condom.
- Avoid scratching it with your fingernails as you put it on.
- While inserting the condom, squeeze the tank between your thumb and forefinger to let the air out. The air bubbles favor the breaking of the condom.
- Use a water-based lubricant and apply it on the condom. This also decreases the risk of laceration;
- Choose the right size for your partner's penis. A condom that is too large will break more easily during intercourse.
