HIV+, Condoms, & Monogamy
Juliet In Pajamas,
Do two (heterosexual) people who are HIV+ have to use a condom if they are just having sex with each other and the girl is on birth control?

Just Wondering,
Yes, yes, absolutely yes :) Even if both partners are HIV+, they should always use protection during sex. It is possible to pass on different strains of HIV, allowing the virus to mutate and become much more difficult to treat. This may also make both partners more susceptible to opportunistic infections.
We usually recommend Inspiral condoms supplemented by Astroglide lubricant as the best protection against transmission of HIV. The InSpiral is a thicker condom that generates more sensation by the nature of it's shape; Astroglide is a water-based lubricant that helps to inhibit the transmission of HIV, just by the nature of it's molecular structure.
