Safer
Sex means being smart and staying healthy. It means showing love,
concern, and respect for your partner and yourself. Safer sex means
enjoying sex to the fullest without transmitting, or acquiring, sexually
related infections. Safer sex does not have to mean eliminating sexual
passion and intimacy for your life. Safer sex means reducing the chance
of acquiring HIV infection. For individuals who decide to engage in
sexual intercourse, reducing the risk of HIV infection means using
latex barriers (such as Kimono Comdoms*) every time you have intercourse.

Talking.
Talking can make every other sexual activity safer. Talking
helps you to get to know your partner better, contributes to
sexual pleasure, and provides an opportunity to negotiate safer
sex practices.
Fantasy. The brain creates images and finds words to
arouse, delight, and satisfy. Imagination and creativity add
richness to sexual experiences.
Touching. Touching, caressing, and massage provide warm, affectionate,
and safe intimacy. The imaginative use of fingers and hands
can relax and excite.
Masturbation. Is safe as long as semen or vaginal fluids
do not come into contact with broken skin.
Kissing. There is no documented evidence that kissing transmits
HIV, though deep kissing can transmit other sexually transmitted
diseases. Kissing your partners body (other than their genitals)
will not spread HIV. |

Oral
Sex/Man. The risk of acquiring HIV by performing oral sex
on a man (fellatio, "blow-job") seems very low but
is uncertain. Since pre-ejaculatory fluid ("pre-cum")
may contain HIV, stopping before ejaculation does not necessarily
reduce the risk. The risk of HIV infection if the action is
being performed on you is extremely low, if the risk exists
at all. Using a latex condom further reduces the risk of transmitting
HIV.
Oral Sex/Woman. The risk of acquiring HIV by performing
oral sex on a woman (cunnilingus) seems very low but is uncertain.
Using a latex square, dental dam, condoms split lengthwise,
or clear plastic wrap as a barrier can further reduce the risk.
Cunnilingus during menstruation increases the risk. The risk
of HIV infection if the action is being performed on you is
extremely low, if the risk exists at all.
Oral-Anal Contact. The risk of transmitting HIV to either
partner through oral-anal contact ("rimming") is uncertain
but seems to be low in risk. However, rimming can transmit other
organisms. Using a latex barrier can reduce risk.
Vaginal Intercourse. HIV may pass from man to woman or
woman to man during vaginal intercourse without a condom. Latex
greatly reduces the chance of acquiring or transmitting HIV
during vaginal intercourse.
Anal Intercourse. HIV may pass from man to man or man to
woman during anal intercourse without a condom. Latex greatly
reduces the chance of acquiring or transmitting HIV during anal
intercourse. R |
