If her partner has open sores on their mouth or penis, they can create a gateway for vaginal secretions or other bodily fluids with HIV to enter the body. If a female partner is living with HIV with a detectable viral load, it can be carried in her vaginal secretions. It’s possible for a partner with a penis to contract HIV during vaginal and anal sex. Microscopic tears create an easier path for HIV and other STIs to enter the body when exposed. In condomless anal sex with a partner who has a penis, the rectal membranes are also more likely to tear (even if blood isn’t visible) than the partner’s penis. When having vaginal sex without a condom with a partner who has a penis, the vaginal membranes are more likely to tear (even if blood isn’t visible) than the partner’s penis. These microscopic tears can create a route for HIV-containing fluids, such as semen, to enter the body. That’s because the lining of the rectum is fragile and can tear easily during anal sex, even if blood isn’t observed and there is no pain. Bottoming carries more risk than topping. HIV can be transmitted to either partner regardless of who is topping or bottoming, especially during anal sex without a condom. ![]() The person bottoming is in the receptive position - the one whose anus/rectum is being penetrated by the other partner’s penis. The person topping is the partner inserting their penis into the anus/rectum of their partner. “Topping” and “bottoming” are common names for positions in anal sex. Rimming (mouth on partner’s anus) is also thought to very low risk. Oral sex (either mouth on penis or vulva/vagina) is thought to be very low risk. Vaginal sex can also lead to HIV transmission if other prevention methods are absent, especially for the “receptive” partner whose vagina is being penetrated by the penis.īoth anal and vaginal sex can also carry a risk of HIV transmission for the “insertive” partner (that is, the person whose penis is inserted into the anus or vagina). When a person doesn’t use a condom during sex, it’s easier for semen, vaginal fluids, blood, and anal secretions to enter their body - either being absorbed across the mucous membrane of the vagina or anus or entering the bloodstream directly.Īnal sex is a known risk factor for contracting HIV if other prevention methods are absent, especially for the “receptive” partner whose anus is being penetrated by the penis. HIV can be transmitted through semen, vaginal secretions, blood, and anal secretions. It’s important to understand the risk level based on actual factors in preventing the transmission of HIV. use of PrEP, PEP, condoms, or having an undetectable viral load.sharing needles for drug use or tattoos.sexual practices and the HIV status of sexual partners.Risk of transmission varies depending on several factors including: HIV transmission occurs in many different ways, including through condomless sex and by sharing needles. An estimated 39,782 people in the country were diagnosed with HIV in 2016 alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 1.1 million people in the United States are living with HIV, and 1 in 7 of them aren’t aware of it. There’s an epidemic of HIV in the United States and around the world. Untreated HIV can lead to AIDS, which occurs when the immune system is so weak it becomes susceptible to serious infections and some cancers. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks and weakens the immune system, making an individual more vulnerable to serious illness. ![]()
