Doctor, can I get HIV by having sex?
Nguyen Thi Huong
Hello doctor. The doctor asked me. I had sex a few days ago. I don't wear a condom but when I ejaculate I pull it out. So is it possible for me to get HIV? Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you.

Answer
To date, HIV has been found in semen, vaginal fluids, blood, blood products, tears, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, breast milk. However, only three routes of HIV transmission have been identified: HIV transmission through blood, HIV transmission through unprotected sex and HIV transmission from mother to child.
Therefore, to ensure that you are not infected with HIV through sex, you need to live a healthy, monogamous life, do not have promiscuous sex. In case of sexual intercourse with another person need to use condom properly.
