Q and A

Question

Can you have sex with someone who is HIV+ and not get infected.

Is it possible to have sex with an HIV infected person for more than 6 months without getting infected?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch.

Its actaully quit difficult to contract HIV. It is a case of bad luck. If your partner is on treatment, then the risks are close to zero. Please see the PARTNER study:

If your partner is not on treatment, there are risks and you may eventually become infected. For transmission please see:

    I would like to know if it is true or it is just a myth THAT if I have unprotected sex with an HIV+ woman and I withdraw before we both orgasm I wont be infected. What fluids carry HIV virus in women and at what point do I get infected
