Dear Dr.
I'm 28 years old this year-
I hope you can solve the problems in life for me.
Since I was a teenager, I have had an excessive fear of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV.
I grew up in the post-90 s and heard terrible stories about HIV/AIDS.
As far as I know, medical progress has changed the way HIV is treated now.
Although HIV is no longer considered a guarantee of the death penalty, my inner pessimists are still afraid of getting HIV from someone I'm not sure about (
Their infection status).
I have never been involved in any sexual activity in my previous relationship.
Needless to say, when I asked about my partner's HIV status, the relationship soon ended.
As a professional accountant, I am a person who makes every decision in life and takes a certain risk.
I want to get Dr this week.
G. at the scene of World AIDS Day, on the possibility of HIV infection in various sexual behaviors.
Can you tell me the chance to get the disease infected with kisses and fingers?
I would also like to learn about the possibility of oral sex disease transmission including cuningus and rimming.
Finally, please explain the risk of viral infection in a protected and non-protected manner
Protect vaginal intercourse.
As far as I know, the calculated risk of transmission is theoretical, indirect, and different between individuals.
However, I would really like to know my odds before diving directly (No pun intended).
Thank you for solving my problem.
The first day of December was designated to raise awareness of the AIDS pandemic.
Estimated 36 people
7 million people worldwide are infected with HIV, making it one of the most important global public health issues of all time.
This year, the World Health Organization has highlighted the theme of "know your situation" to increase the rate of confirmation and limit its dissemination, especially through sexual contact.
HIV is transmitted through body fluids, including blood, semen
Rectal fluid and vaginal discharge.
Since there is almost no virus in saliva, urine, sweat, vomit and feces,
Sexual contact is almost impossible.
Touching, kissing, hugging, sharing toilets and food with HIV-positive people is totally dangerous --free.
Through needle exchange programmes, strict screening of blood products from blood donors and early identification of maternal HIV status, sexual intercourse is now the most common mode of transmission of HIV in developed countries.
Unprotected sex allows the exchange of blood, semen, rectal and vaginal secretions that may carry viruses.
Therefore, it is essential to know the individual's condition and risk before conducting sexual activities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 70% of new infections in 2015 were men who had sex (
A man who has sex with a man).
On the other hand, heterosexual infections account for 23% of all new HIV infections, mainly from women infected with male partners.
The study divided sexual behavior into high risk and low risk behavior.
Oral sex is generally considered to be low risk, as this practice is not an effective way for viral transmission.
Despite the penisoral sex (fallatio)
It may cause semen to break into sore in the mouth, which is theoretically and rare. Oral-vaginal sex (cunnilingus)
Safe again, only one female case reportedto-
Female communication. Lastly, oral-anal sex (
Analingus or boiling)
It may not be considered a high risk, but the spread of other viruses such as hepatitis is more common.
There has never been a documented case of HIV transmission by finger (digital-
Anal or digital vaginal)
This is the act of inserting a finger into a sexual act.
Unprotected vaginal intercourse is reported to be the most common form of HIV transmission in the world.
It is widely believed that HIV-positive men are more likely to transmit the virus to female partners through vaginal intercourse than on the contrary.
This is believed to be due to the large surface area of vaginal and cervical tissue, which is rich in immune cells that are susceptible to viral infection.
Mark Zuckerberg once said: "The biggest risk is not to take any risks.
In a rapidly changing world, the only strategy to guarantee failure is not to take risks.
"Every decision we make in life is a potential risk, especially in sexual relationships.
While the risk calculated before any form of sexual activity is healthy, forcing to avoid sexual activity due to fear of infection can also be excessive.
Understanding a partner and building trust is often the key to safe behavior.
Usually, "diving" can cause anxiety before fully understanding someone.
Therefore, the use of condoms can avoid the pressure after this behavior.
So when Dr.
Asked about the computational risk of HIV transmission, G's view was: "The biggest risk in sex is not thinking before taking risks.
"The only strategy to ensure failure is not to wear rubber!
