A member asked:
If a bodily fluid is dried up or dead and inserted into the rectum, can it still infect someone with hiv, syphilis etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your question is unintelligible. If the material inserted into the rectum is "sterile" it will not transmit any infection. However, the scenario you describe does not guarantee that the material would be sterile, and you are putting yourself at risk. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
