Would you have protected sex with someone with HIV?

efb

Some people apparently wouldnt kiss someone with HIV, one declared she wouldnt touch someone with HIV, but would you have protected sex with someone who had HIV?

My answer is, casually No, LTR, Yes.

Good God, AH is full of shíte threads today. The drink must be going to peoples' heads!

Nope. Accidents happen even when using precautions.

On a side note something like 1% of Europeans have a natural immunity to the virus.

I wont make a second round of tea in mug.

But sex with a HIV sufferer, fcuk it why the hell not.

Not really, among the LGBT community specifically it's something that is considered by most. Not so much by straight people for some reason.

That said, I wouldn't. My sexual health is not something I'd take the risk for. I simply wouldn't get into a relationship with someone who is HIV positive.

My next door neighbours don't have HIV, they do however have AIDS.

One has a hearing aid the other has a walking aid.

Im stone cold sober btw.

My boyfriend had protected sex previously with someone with HIV.

Would that be an issue, having safe sex with someone who previously had safe sex with someone with HIV?

I have a couple of friends who are HIV positive and one of them is in a long term relationship and his partner has not tested positive for the virus. With the breakthrough of drugs (of course incredibly expensive drugs in the US), those who test positive nowadays are living normal life spans. It isn't truly the death sentence it was several years ago; what makes it frightening is the fear of being socially stigmatized by it due to most people's ignorance related to the virus.

Yeah thankfully it is not longer the death sentence it was. TBF attitudes have changed a lot, still need more changes though.

I had a mate who developed full blown AIDS, he died in 91; the change in peoples attitudes are miles apart compared to then. Family had to to put up with all types of ignorance, the body could not be displayed, had to have a closed casket.

So thankfully we are a long way from there, but there still is a lot of ignorance out there.

I'm not sure though I would have asked he had a STI test just to make sure.

I wouldn't say I am ignorant of the virus. I'd know a fair bit about it, but still, I wouldn't have sex with someone who is HIV positive or even consider getting into a relationship with them. It's a conscious choice because there are too many other people in the world that I could go for, I'm not risking my health like that.

That said a lot of people ARE ignorant of the virus, even people who have protected sex with a HIV positive person, yet use lambskin because of allergies, which does little to nothing to protect against STD's.

Why, out of curiosity? Is it because you don't care if you become HIV positive if your partner already has it?

areyawell

Nope, nor would I have sex with someone with clamydia, Herpes, Genital warts, crabs etc. Idiotic for getting it in the first place.

Strawberry Fields

agreed if I was told in the first place.
If I was unaware and thought it was someone special. my bad.

Thread needs a poll.

i wouldent even have sex with someone who had sex with someone who had aids /hiv dont mind person themselves,stupid question.be like driving without a motorbike helmet,not worth risk

Killer Wench

If we create a poll, the question should be: when you do have casual sex with a stranger, do you always use protection? I think we'd be surprised by the results.

MagicMarker

Depends, if I met someone who I grew to like and found out later they were HIV then I reckon I could overlook that.

If it's just a casual thing then it's not worth it.

LiffeyValleyB

I think a better question is, would you have sex with your father in order to save your mothers life?

Strawberry Fields

actually a really stupid question because HIV can be passed via saliva which is why most brazzers don't do kissing.

Where To

I'm just going to reply to every thread tonight with the lyrics of whatever song I'm listening to, it would be as meaningful a contribution as some of the stuff.:pac:

Let's make a night to remember, from January to December.

arybvtcw0eolkf

No I wouldn't.

I won't even touch someone I suspect might have something. For example I work a bar/club door in Templebar (been on them for years) and would know a lot of the homeless, junkies, scum/robbers etc in the area ~ I won't even shake hands with them for fear of catching something, HIV, TB (I'm Hep overed) etc.. However a recent post by Odysseus was insightful in regards to cross infection, but....!!

Tbh I'm a bit of a germaphobe and I'd be constantly washing my hands, watching what/who I touch even under normal circumstances.

You have no clue about HIV. It cannot be transferred through Kissing or Saliva. Unless both participants happen to be bleeding in the mouth at the same time.

Saliva does not pose a risk

so it can be passed through saliva ,a cut lips easy enough to happen,or a cold sore thats cracked

right fair enough the answer is still no.
I could easily be bleeding without knowing.

Or a passionate kisser/biter!.

This isn't true. If the infected partner has bleeding gums and his non-infected partner has an open mouth sore, then they can pass the virus through kissing; otherwise, it is too small amount in saliva alone to actually infect another individual.

But that's still ultra low risk. It's not saliva passing it, it's blood. I'd be surprised if anyone ever caught HIV through kissing a cold sore, or in fact if it could happen.

Then again, why would you kiss someone who has a cold sore?

Again no, does saliva come out of your wounds?

Basing it on sexuality, you are currently at a higher risk of HIV if you are hetero, rather than being gay of a IVDU.

Safer* sex.

Provided they had a full course of blood tests since, then I'd have no issue with it, but if they couldn't prove they had those tests (i.e. a certificate) I'd probably say no, the risk is too great.

I already said I wouldn't have sex with someone who is HIV Positive anyway, but I do know the risk of infection and I know they are really really low, But I just think it's not worth it for me.

You'd need buckets and buckets of saliva unless both parties has open mouth wounds.
