How to protect myself?
Your best protection against HIV is having no sexual intercourse and using no drugs.
This is known as abstinence
[Abstinence: Means not having any form of sex or drug use].
Although, there are activities that other people engaged in, they said that they are FUN, ENJOYABLE, and pose NO risk of HIV infection.
Just in case if you plan to engage in any of them!!
CASUAL KISSING
CUDDLING
HUGGING AND HOLDING
TOUCHING
MASSAGE
MASTURBATION - solo or mutual
TALKING
FANTASY
For those who feel abstinence is not for them.
There are other precautions one can take to reduce the risk of being infected or re-exposed to the virus when a latex barrier or clean needles are used.
REMEMBER
The idea here is to keep body fluids from getting inside one's body during a sexual encounter. (semen, vaginal secretions, blood)
The following are activities that are considered high risk (SUPER DANGEROUS) for infection or re-exposure if engaged in WITHOUT a latex barrier:
RECEPTIVE (receiving) anal intercourse
INSERTIVE (giving) anal intercourse
RECEPTIVE (receiving) vaginal intercourse
INSERTIVE (giving) vaginal intercourse
ORAL SEX on a man with ejaculation
ORAL SEX on a man without ejaculation
ORAL SEX on a woman
ORAL-ANAL contact - rimming (not risky for HIV infection, BUT risky for other infections)
AND DO NOT FORGET TO
Never share a needle when injecting drugs.
