A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid body fluids: When your partner has hiv, it is important for your safety to avoid contact with body fluids: semen, pre-ejaculatory fluid, blood. Whether or not a person contracts HIV may depend on a variety of factors, including the amount of virus in the body fluid involved. For your protection, use latex condoms. Do talk to your own doctor for more information on this. It's important for your peace of mind.
