Question

What is the risk of semen-skin contact?

I have been on meds for 10 months and undetectable for the last 5 of them. I have recently met someone HIV – we have protected anal sex. I don’t cum in his mouth but my semen has came into contact with his skin, stomach and chest. What is the risk of this to him?

Answer

The skin is a very good protection, unless there are cuts or wounds. There is some detailed information on the modes of transmission here.
