it is possible to have sex if with someone on dialysis?
338501
It depends on the patients overall condition. I have known people that were dialysis patients and they had such active lives, you'd never know they had a problem. On the other hand I have also known a few that were very ill with heart problems and such that caused them to need dialysis to live. To be safe you and this person should consult with their doctor first.

Well the risks include infection and bleeding during the dialysis access placement (either catheter or fistula surgery). These are relatively small.  Dialysis in general is quite safe.  There are many risks of long term dilysis to talk with your dad's doctor about, but the bottom line is you can't live without it, so whatever the risks, the benefits outweigh them.  Only other option for your dad is kidney transplant. Did you discuss this with your nephrologist? Good luck.

Yes, That's call super infection If your positive,have unprotected sex with someone who is also positive yo can get that persons strain of the virus on top of yours. Now you have 2 different strains (a super-infection) any so can you partner.NOW most likely the medication you and your partner were taking will no longer work and you have to find a new combo,go through all the adjustments,the side effects and who knows how many combos of meds your partner tried and did not work.More than likely they wont work for you.So 2 infected people still need to practice SAFE SEX

If there was any swapping of bodily fluids, perhaps.\nIf the skin was broken on the HIV negative person and not the HIV positive person, there is a good change transmission did not occur.\n\nIf the HIV negative person is worried, s/he can always get tested. Many cities offer free testing either through Planned Parenthood or AIDS outreach organizations

try having sex with someone other than yourself.

Yes, paraplegics can still have sex.  Most do not feel it, but that is going to be a case by case basis.

From http://www.kidneyschool.org , Module 11 Sexuality and Fertility; For Men (pdf): http://kidneyschool.org/pdfs/Module11Male.pdf\n\n"Men on dialysis or with kidney transplants have\nfathered healthy children. But kidney disease can\nreduce the number and quality of your sperm.\nThis can make it harder to fertilize the egg.\nDoctors define “infertility” as a couple not getting\npregnant after more than a year of trying. If you\nand your partner want to have a baby of your own,\nit may be wise to involve your doctor up front.\n\nThe fewer years on dialysis, the more plentiful and\nactive your sperm may be, so sooner may be better\nthan later—but this may be hard to think about\nif kidney failure is recent and the future seems to\nbe in question. Only you and your partner can\ndecide what’s right for you."

Not sure I understand this question. But, here goes.\n\nIf both partners are exclusive and both partners tested negative for HIV/AIDS, then they should never be infected with the disease through exclusive sexual contact. \n\nBut you can get HIV/AIDS in other ways. So if one partner is a Health Care professional and is stuck with a sharp that is infected, then he or she could contract HIV/AIDS.

Can I get HIV from oral sex? \nYes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. \n\nIf the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through \n\nthe lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis); \nthe lining of the vagina or cervix; \nthe lining of the anus; or \ndirectly into the body through small cuts or open sores. \nIf the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body. \n\nThe risk of HIV transmission increases \n\nif the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat; \nif the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or \nif the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD). \nNot having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV. \n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male, \n\nuse a latex condom on the penis; or \nif you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used. \nStudies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently. If either partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms for either the male or female can be used. For more information about latex condoms, see "Male Latex Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases." \n\nIf you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female, \n\nuse a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. A latex barrier such as a dental dam reduces the risk of blood or vaginal fluids entering your mouth. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \nIf you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming), \n\nuse a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \nIf you choose to share sex toys with your partner, such as dildos or vibrators, \n\neach partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and \nbe sure to clean sex toys between each use. \nIf you would like more information or have personal concerns, call CDC-INFO 24 Hours/Day at 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636), 1-888-232-6348 (TTY), in English, en Espaٌol. \n\nBut on the other hand reports say it is very minimal:\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1156

It's possible, but not likely.  Was your girlfriend hospitalized?  Did she press charges?  Her ob/gyn should be your main source of answers for this question.

Yes. Whenever body fluids make contact with another person' body fluid, there is potential to contract any disease one another is carrying.

You are still transferring bodily fluids from one person to another, so definitly yes you can transfer the virus through unprotected sex.  As a general rule when in doubt be safe because your life and the quality of the rest of your life may depend on it.

Current doctors say YES it can, although the chances are very minimal.  Basically it works the opposite - they have not yet proven that it cannot be transferred through these fluids, so just be careful until they prove otherwise.

Yes, if she has an STD and you have even the smallest tear in your skin it could enter into your bloodstream that way. Or, just like having unprotected straight sex if she, or you for that matter has unprotected oral, you can get an STD. Either partner could have herpes or a number of things.

Yes it is possible, however, I don't recommend it. There is every chance you will damage your urethra, causing pain and bleeding, and resulting in infection. I work in Aged Care and have a resident with catheter (and dementia), who just can't leave it alone. The result is frequent bleeding, and frequent infection, sometimes resulting in hospitalisation. HANG ON UNTIL THE CATHETER IS REMOVED. THEN GO FOR IT!!

the Female has a urethra and her vaginal opening, the Urine comes out of the urethra, yes in theroy you could spread the liabia(the lips of the vulva) and attempt to direct the stream, there is also the possiblity of the female ejaculating through her urethra during sexual stimualtion, and it can shoot just like the male can.
