A member asked:

Does hiv arise in men due to ejaculation inside the anus? is this true. because they say sex between men is the cause of hiv infection?

HIV is contracted by someone having bodily fluid exchanged with an infected person in any form. If the persons having intercourse of any kind do not have HIV they do not get i no matter what the sex.

Sex itself does not cause HIV infection. HIV is a virus transmitted by sex. Of the many possible sexual practices, anal sex with ejaculation in the rectum carries the highest chance of HIV transmission. Men who have sex with men are at highest risk because anal sex is more common in MSM than in sex with women. Please educate yourself on the details of HIV transmission and prevention. Good luck.
