Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.

Welcome to health care magic.I have gone through the details and can make out your anxiety.

Condom is very safe in preventing the STDs.The current available condoms if used in right manner, can prevent the transmission of almost all STDs.But there are some STDs like herpes,HPV which can be transmitted through Skin to skin contact too.So there will be areas of contact other than condom protected areas.

If it is a protected vaginal intercourse followed by Tridot method,results are accurate/conclusive 86 days Post exposure. They detect HIV 1& 2 antibodies.Antibodies will be formed latest by 3 months post exposure.

You can get back to me for any clarifications.
Thank you
