We usually advise anybody who regularly uses condoms as “Plan A” birth control to have a prescription for Plan B® contraceptive pills on hand as it is most effective when taken within 72 hours (although more recent studies have shown efficacy up to 120 hours) after unprotected intercourse.

Will use of a condom during sex reduce the risk of HIV infection?

AIDS Center - FAQ Answers
Yes. Use of a latex male condom or a female condom during sex can reduce the risk of HIV infection by reducing the chance of getting semen, blood and vaginal secretions (fluids known to carry the virus) into the body. Condoms can reduce, but not entirely eliminate the risk of HIV infection. The primary reason that condoms sometimes fail to prevent HIV infection is due to incorrect or inconsistent use. Consistent means using a condom with each act of intercourse.
