I think that people forget that condoms protect you from more than just pregnancy.

And there is no morning after pill for HIV.

ACTUALLY THERE IS.

It’s called post exposure prophylaxis.

http://www.who.int/hiv/topics/prophylaxis/en/

If you’ve had unprotected sex and are afraid of possibly being at risk for HIV, please go to the emergency room and ask about POST EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS.

Works for up to 48 - 72 hours after exposure to HIV.

Whoa!  I had absolutely no idea that existed.  Life-saving info, people.

Let’s not forget that condoms and/or other prophylactics are hella important, but this is definitely good to know and file in the “FYI and hope I never need” portion of my mind.
