Is is true that if you take bath or shower after having unprotected sex, you minimise the chances of HIV +?

No, that's a deadly urban myth, file it away and forget about it.Unprotected sex {including oral} can transmit HIV regardless of what you do after the act!

Among the highest risk groups to catch AIDS are the gay men. This is coz men have natural tendency to have sex with multiple partners and physical intimacy involves penetration and exchange of body fluids (semen). The mucous lining of rectum is delicate and get ruptured with minor bleeding but enough to let the virus into the blood stream. or the virus from the one partner's body can travel through the urinary tract of the other and be transmitted. If indulging in unprotected sex with an HIV+ person the virus can very well get transmitted. On the other hand lesbians are among the lowest risk group as the sex does not involve exchange of body fluids (if the scientific reports that HIV does not spread through saliva holds true).

std's do not lead to aids unless you have the HIV virus, which is only one type of std.  there are also many many others.\ndo not hesitate to see a doctor...i can promise you that they have seen and heard things way worse than your 'problem'.  he will probably just prescribe a lotion to apply to the affected area...and before you even get home he would've forgotten all about it.

Unprotected sex is when you have sex without some type of method to prevent pregnancy and STD's.

No! Not HIV / AIDS and not chlamydia and lots of others.\nBeware my friend. There is a good chance of catching a disease if you go sleeping around

Don't do any activities like this with someone who has the HIV virus. It's not safe. A "rubbing session" will most certainly lead to "other sessions"...

"Consistent use of condoms provides protection from HIV. The level of protection approximates 87%, with a range depending upon the incidence among condom nonusers. Thus, the condom's efficacy at reducing heterosexual transmission may be comparable to or slightly lower than its effectiveness at preventing pregnancy." \n\n" the chance that HIV will be transmitted during a single unprotected sexual act is much lower -- ranging from 1 chance in 500 for vaginal sex to 3 chances in 100 for anal sex -- than the risk that a single act of unprotected vaginal sex will lead to pregnancy. "\n\nAlso;\n\n"The use of a spermacide can make sex with condoms even safer. Laboratory studies have shown that one spermacide, nonoxynol-9, effectively kills all of the HIV that is present in a condom."

The following numbers are old, and they're all pretty much guesswork anyway, so take them with a grain of salt.  But I venture to say most people in the field would agree with my conclusions.\n\nAccording to a report by researchers Norman Hearst and Stephen Hulley in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the odds of a heterosexual becoming infected with AIDS after one episode of penile-vaginal intercourse with someone in a non-high-risk group without a condom are one in 5 million. With a condom it's even safer--one in 50 million. Just to put this in perspective, the chances of someone in your family getting injured next year in a bubble bath are 1 in 1.3 million (source: The Odds on Virtually Everything, Heron House, 1980). You're in much greater danger of being struck by lightning (1 in 600,000), having your house bombed (1 in 290,000), or being murdered (1 in 11,000).\n\nThe numbers get a lot worse if you engage in "high-risk behavior"--having sexual intercourse or sharing needles with a member of a high-risk group, e.g., a gay or bisexual male or IV drug user from a major metro area, or a hemophiliac. The chances of getting AIDS from one such encounter range as high as 1 in 10,000 using a condom to 1 in 1,000 unprotected. Even if your partner tests negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the chances of infection from a high-risk person are still relatively high--1 in 50,000 without a condom. That's because there's a 45 to 90 day window during which a newly infected person can infect others but test negative. (A few people go as long as 180 days.)\n\nFrom there on out, statistically speaking, things deteriorate pretty fast. If your partner is HIV-positive, your chances of getting AIDS after one night are 1 in 5,000 with a condom, 1 in 500 without. Have sex with an HIV-positive partner 500 times using condoms and your chances escalate to 1 in 11. Skip the gift wrap and they're 2 in 3.\n\nA couple points: These odds apply equally to men and women. Although there's reason to believe male-to-female AIDS transmission happens more often than female-to-male, the amount of difference is unknown. Also, I have to emphasize again, the numbers involve a lot of guesswork. The authors admit they could be off by a factor of ten in either direction. Still, one message comes through loud and clear: by far the best thing you can do to avoid AIDS is to be picky about your partners. Use of condoms reduces your risk by a factor of 10, sleeping only with people who test negative reduces it by a factor of 5 to 50, but avoiding high-risk partners reduces it by a factor of 5,000. (You'd also be well advised to avoid high-risk behavior, such as unprotected receptive anal sex.) Asking for a resume may not be romantic, but it beats Kaposi's sarcoma.

Any unprotected sex, with our without ejaculation is a risk for an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) including HIV.\n\nEven without ejaculation, there are pre-ejaculatory fluids that are released and these can carry HIV. \n\nIn short, nearly any bodily fluid has the potential to tranmist HIV. Whether that is sexual or blood borne in origin.\n\nIf you have concerns, there are many available methods to get tested. Even with safe sex, it is wise to get tested if you are sexuallyactive with multiple partners. Often there are confidential free clinics you can go to.

Probably not, but if you're having unprotected sex(no condom), then you need to get tested.  You can get this done free at a clinic or a GLAD chapter.

yeast infections have nothing to do with not showering...you don't have to shower for days after sex...please don't do that as the world does not want to smell you...but not showering will not cause yeast infections.  yeast infections are an over growth of yeast in the vagina...men can some times get them too.  they are often caused by over eating sugar which feeds the yeast, wearing tight non breathable clothing like tight pants and polyester under wear, or panty hose, sitting around in wet clothing like a bathing suit, having one and not washing your underwear in hot water to kill it, wiping back to front, birth control pills can also sometimes cause it.

A.I.D.S. does not discriminate, you have unprotected sex and you have a very high risk of contracting the Virus. Any type of bodily fluid exchange will increase you chances of infecting yourself! so ALways have Safe SEX. you know sex with a condom!!!!

I personally think that a towell and some soap and water makes it all-right, but saftey is paramount in everything we do, so yes my friend it is safe. Unless your partener has any fluid-borne STD's or HIV. The it is totally not safe.
423789
it is not true, the fact that people still believe things like that is still amazing to me. AIDS can not just come from any where. if you had aids regardless of your period if you and boyfriend where having unprotected sex he will contract it. but if you where both clean before sex regardless of what fluids were exchange you will be clean afterwards. AIDS can not develop were there is no virus.
1055603
No, it is not recommended. I am not going to explain here what is a period and how come the blood comes out (broken blood vessels), which means that there is a possibility that you can get blood infection from infected water. The same comes to bath and pregnancy: you can get infection into your inner genitals and end up with fetus infected, etc. Showers, showers, showers, ladies..

This may be a dumb myth, but I've heard that peeing right after sex reduces the likliness of pregnancy/diseases. So if you are maybe not doing it will help. As for the shower, I think the other answerers have it pinned if there is anything behind it. Have you considered that "take your temp." plan?

without protection for 100% sure the virous will be transmited.but being a hiv possite person doesnt mean that u will get AIDS for sure,there r some ppl who only carry the virus and transmit it to others!
