A member asked:
I am worried about possible hiv transmission?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV: Transmission of this virus occurs only with intimate contact, either sexually or through needle sharing or blood or organ exchange. Make sure you have only protected sex. Ideally you might want to have a new sexual partner tested and not have sex with them until you are sure they are negative. Condoms are very effective. Several wives of my HIV patients have been negative for years.
