I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandpa passing away suddenly last week. Do you have enough support from friends (as family is likely grieving, too)? Let us know if you would like to talk about this more, but please know choosing a risky behavior (unprotected sex) can just add more pain, grief, stress and anxiety to an already-upsetting situation.
You are in luck---have you not heard about latex-free condoms?! Many people are allergic to latex, and there are many condoms on the market that do not contain latex. And, if you need to be close with your boyfriend, let him know that adding more stress by having unprotected sex is not what you need right now. There are so many ways to be physically close that can (arguably) be even more intimate that do not include intercourse.
Please take care, and let us know if you need to talk any more.
