Can semen be a way of transmission of hiv and hepatitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Male ejaculate (semen) can carry viral infections such as HIV and viral hepatitis. Always using a latex condom and a spermicidal / viracidal lubricant can help to diminish the chance of acquiring a viral sexually transmitted disease. Hope that this helps.
