Question 1

my boyfriend was bit by a possibly rabid animal yesterday. last night we kissed quite a bit and i gave him oral sex.  could i contract it through him?

Accepted Answer

No risk, no worries: Rabies is not transmitted until the infected persons has had it quite a while. Even if your boyfriend caught rabies, you couldn't catch it from him for at least a few weeks. Even then, human to human transmission is exceedingly rare, if it happens at all. Of course your bf needs to see a doctor (or speak with the health department) ASAP about the bite and whether he needs rabies shots.

Question 2

can i have sex with my partner during pregnancy because we are both hiv positive and we are scared that the baby can contract it through sex?

Accepted Answer

Not an issue: During pregnancy, the baby is sealed up in its own amniotic fluid sac which protects the baby from outside infectious agents. In Addition, the cervix is plugged until right before delivery for the same protectant effect. To protect yourself against other STD's use a condom. Continue taking your HIV treatment meds as prescribed by your Dr. Most HIV Mother to baby transmission occurs at birth.
