If you knew that someone was HIV+ would you have protected sex with them?

It should be clarified that the idiot 4 posts above this one is wrong. There are no pores in latex condoms, they do not allow anything through. Think about it, scientists at the Center for Disease Control use latex gloves... so latex is good enough for this job. Latex condoms are the MOST effective way to prevent the spread of HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections. Always use a condom.\n\nAlso, when used correctly, condom breakage is non-existant. Breakage happens when the tip is not squeezed to evacuate air, or when two condoms are used at once. Two is NOT better than one. Condoms should also be changed after 15 minutes of use.

You never know who has AIDS or some other STD's, so the best thing to do is to use condoms. NEVER have unprotected sex!! Even if the person is young or looks healthy. Be careful!

Have you had unprotected sex with her? Maybe she gave it to u.

Possible. One can have HIV infection from infected blood or sexual fluids. If you happen to touch  an infected blood or sexual fluid and you accidentally touch your wound (if you have one) or you happen to touch the part of your sex organ that is most sensitive to the virus (by having sex with yourself as you said??), then you might get HIV...Just making an analysis.

would you like to share a STD with me??? \nSeriously, don't you know the risks of having sex with people you don't know??

yes.many people think that those with AIDS should sleep with others who have AIDS to stop the spread and still have a sex life but it can make a person sicker so its a bad idea...and to answer your question yes.

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!

use condoms until you know from a blood test.You can't tell by looking at someone if they have the aids virus. They could look totaly healthy and be hiv positive.

you can have any std without knowing it, even aids; if youre worried you better get tested

The HIV pos partner would have to be bleeding tremendously and you would have to be drinking like a gallon of it. Saliva will kill the virus so it is not possible to get HIV from someone who kisses you  or if you drink after them.

If she is infected with HIV and you don't use a condom, then yes, it is possible. The chances of transmission based on her having HIV and no protection used are such that you aren't statistically likely to get it every time, but is that really a risk you want to take?!\n\nYou can get more info on transmission here:\n\nhttp://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SafeSex/index.html

If he had an STD/HIV, about the same chances as if you hadn't been using protection.  Sounds like he was too small for the condom.

i'm smart enough not to use condom if my partner & I are both: hiv tested neg, & tested free of any other yucky STDs & are married/exclusive to 1 another

Unless things have changed, when you are in a marriage, yes, the doctor can tell your spouse.\n\nAccoording to:  http://www.alp.org.za/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=45&DC100SID=0907b535c517bcaebf0a0987aae76e68\nWhen can a health care worker tell your sexual partner? \n\nA health care worker may only tell your sexual partner about your HIV status when:\nThe sexual partner is clearly known and identifiable – in other words, a specific person, eg “your husband William”.\nThe sexual partner is at risk of being infected with HIV by you, and you have refused to inform the partner of your HIV status or you have refused to have safer sex.\nYou have been counselled on the need to inform your sexual partner or have safer sex.\nThe health care worker has told you of your duty to protect your sexual partners.\nThe health care worker has warned you that if you do not inform your sexual partner or have safer sex, then the health care worker will have to breach confidentiality.\n\nIf someone is HIV+ and doenn't tell their spouse, they are the lowest of low.  How unethical to infect someone without telling them.  That would require no conscience and that person would be a sociopath...only concerned with themselves and not others.

yes. In fact, unprotected (without a condom) anal sex (intercourse) is considered to be very risky behavior. It is possible for either sex partner to become infected with HIV during anal sex. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. In general, the person receiving the semen is at greater risk of getting HIV because the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow the virus to enter the body during anal sex. However, a person who inserts his penis into an infected partner also is at risk because HIV can enter through the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis) or through small cuts, abrasions, or open sores on the penis.

You contact HIV usually through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or blood transfusions, basically body fluids and open wounds.  Anyone is at risk for it because people who have it might not know at first and be spreading it to others, the stereotypes are usually hookers, gay people, drug users, street people but that's not really true because anyone can get it or be born with it, we just all like to think it won't happen to us.  Risky behaviors are unprotected sex, sharing needles, and open wounds that bleed and anyone else with an open wound touching something can pick up germs.  It depends on the person as to how long they live.  Some believe saliva can spread germs, others don't. I would just be all around careful if I was around someone I knew that could possibly be infected.
