&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;288&quot; data-end=&quot;378&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Whether you&#39;re in George Town, Batu Ferringhi, or anywhere in Penang &amp;mdash; first things first:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;380&quot; data-end=&quot;475&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;383&quot; data-end=&quot;399&quot;&gt;Don&amp;rsquo;t panic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br data-start=&quot;399&quot; data-end=&quot;402&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Condom slips and breaks do happen. What matters most is what you do next.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;477&quot; data-end=&quot;518&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s walk through it calmly and clearly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;477&quot; data-end=&quot;518&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;525&quot; data-end=&quot;549&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Do Condoms Break?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;551&quot; data-end=&quot;614&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s usually a reason (and it&amp;rsquo;s more common than you think):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;618&quot; data-end=&quot;635&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Expired condoms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;638&quot; data-end=&quot;691&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Stored somewhere hot (wallets, cars, beach bags)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;694&quot; data-end=&quot;716&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Poor quality condoms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;719&quot; data-end=&quot;746&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vigorous or prolonged sex&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;749&quot; data-end=&quot;773&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Not enough lubrication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;776&quot; data-end=&quot;825&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Opening the wrapper with teeth or sharp objects&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;828&quot; data-end=&quot;886&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Using two condoms at once (more friction = more tearing)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;889&quot; data-end=&quot;920&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Reusing a condom (please don&amp;rsquo;t)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;922&quot; data-end=&quot;972&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;No judgment &amp;mdash; just useful knowledge for next time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;922&quot; data-end=&quot;972&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;979&quot; data-end=&quot;1007&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 1: Clean Up &amp;mdash; Gently&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1009&quot; data-end=&quot;1069&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1009&quot; data-end=&quot;1021&quot;&gt;For men:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br data-start=&quot;1021&quot; data-end=&quot;1024&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Wash the genital area gently with warm water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1071&quot; data-end=&quot;1225&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1071&quot; data-end=&quot;1085&quot;&gt;For women:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br data-start=&quot;1085&quot; data-end=&quot;1088&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Do NOT wash inside the vagina or use soap, antiseptics, or detergents. These can irritate the vaginal lining and increase infection risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1227&quot; data-end=&quot;1299&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1230&quot; data-end=&quot;1248&quot;&gt;Do not douche.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br data-start=&quot;1248&quot; data-end=&quot;1251&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This can push sperm and bacteria further inside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1301&quot; data-end=&quot;1378&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;re unsure what to do next &amp;mdash; contact our clinic immediately for advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1385&quot; data-end=&quot;1429&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2: What Should I Be Concerned About?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1431&quot; data-end=&quot;1478&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s break it down into three important areas:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;1485&quot; data-end=&quot;1511&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. HIV &amp;mdash; Time Matters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h5 data-start=&quot;1513&quot; data-end=&quot;1564&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stay calm and consider your partner&amp;rsquo;s risk factors:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1568&quot; data-end=&quot;1601&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;History of intravenous drug use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1604&quot; data-end=&quot;1630&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Multiple sexual partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1633&quot; data-end=&quot;1655&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Engaging sex workers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1658&quot; data-end=&quot;1685&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Men who have sex with men&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1687&quot; data-end=&quot;1802&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Women are biologically at higher risk of acquiring HIV, especially if ejaculation occurred before the condom broke.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 data-start=&quot;1804&quot; data-end=&quot;1843&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;If you think the exposure is high risk:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1845&quot; data-end=&quot;2019&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1847&quot; data-end=&quot;1920&quot;&gt;You have up to 72 hours to start HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br data-start=&quot;1920&quot; data-end=&quot;1923&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PEP works best if started within the first &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1966&quot; data-end=&quot;1978&quot;&gt;24 hours&lt;/strong&gt; and must be started within &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2006&quot; data-end=&quot;2018&quot;&gt;72 hours&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2021&quot; data-end=&quot;2100&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PEP can significantly reduce your risk of getting HIV &amp;mdash; but timing is critical.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2102&quot; data-end=&quot;2186&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re unsure, it&amp;rsquo;s always safer to come in and let us assess your risk properly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;2193&quot; data-end=&quot;2218&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Other STDs (STIs)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2220&quot; data-end=&quot;2296&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;After a condom break, the risk of sexually transmitted infections increases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 data-start=&quot;2298&quot; data-end=&quot;2350&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Many STDs do not show symptoms early on &amp;mdash; including:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2354&quot; data-end=&quot;2365&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Gonorrhea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li data-start=&quot;2382&quot; data-end=&quot;2392&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Syphilis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2394&quot; data-end=&quot;2445&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You or your partner may not even know you have one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s why both partners should consider proper screening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li data-start=&quot;2540&quot; data-end=&quot;2690&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Doxy PEP&amp;rdquo; refers to taking doxycycline after potential exposure to reduce the risk of certain bacterial STIs like syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2692&quot; data-end=&quot;2877&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It must be started within &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2718&quot; data-end=&quot;2730&quot;&gt;72 hours&lt;/strong&gt; of exposure, and it&amp;rsquo;s not suitable for everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br data-start=&quot;2779&quot; data-end=&quot;2782&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A doctor will assess whether it&amp;rsquo;s appropriate based on your individual risk and health profile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2879&quot; data-end=&quot;2939&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Prompt medical evaluation is essential for proper treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;2946&quot; data-end=&quot;2963&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Pregnancy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2965&quot; data-end=&quot;2991&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If pregnancy is a concern:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Emergency contraception works best within &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3038&quot; data-end=&quot;3050&quot;&gt;48 hours&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3053&quot; data-end=&quot;3120&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;See a doctor as soon as possible to discuss the morning-after pill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3122&quot; data-end=&quot;3146&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;And again &amp;mdash; no douching.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3122&quot; data-end=&quot;3146&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
