NOTES IN YOUR MIND!!!!!
PLEASE HELP TO MAKE HIV FREE WORLD!!!!!
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is most
commonly spread through unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse with an
infected person.
Describing a couple as ‘serodiscordant’ means that one partner is HIV positive and the other is not. This can raise a number of issues, such as how to have sex safely. Finding out more about what is safe, talking to others with experience or talking with a counsellor may be helpful.
This article offers general information, but also talk with your doctor or AIDS organization.
Safe sex suggestions
HIV is transmitted by body fluids including
blood, ejaculate (cum), pre-ejaculate (pre-cum), female genital fluids (both
vaginal and cervical fluid) and breast milk. The way the virus gains entry to
another person may be directly across the mucosa (the lining of the vagina or
bowel) or into the bloodstream. HIV can also pass from mother to baby during
pregnancy or birth, or via breast milk. It is important to prevent the transfer
of these body fluids, whether the woman or her partner is HIV positive. Be
guided by your doctor or health worker, but safe sex
Suggestions include:
- Kissing, cuddling, masturbation, mutual masturbation,
massage, and ejaculating or urinating on unbroken skin is considered safe
activities.
- Always wear a condom and use a water based lubricant
when having vaginal or anal sex.
- The woman may prefer to wear a female condom that is
inserted into the vagina.
- Pre-ejaculate (pre-cum) of an HIV positive man may
transmit the virus, so don’t rely on the withdrawal method.
- Oral sex with either a man or woman is considered a
‘low risk’ activity for transmission of HIV.
- However the risk increases when people have cuts or
sores in their mouth or on their lips, or have recently brushed their
teeth and gums or flossed their teeth.
- For extra safety, people may choose to use a condom
during oral sex performed on the man, or a dental dam or similar
protection (such as clear plastic cling wrap – but not the ‘microwave
safe’ variety which as tiny holes in it) during oral sex performed on the
woman.
- Avoid penetration of the vagina or anus with finger or
fist if there are abrasions on the hand or arm – to be sure, wear a latex
glove and use lots of water based lubricant.
- Don’t share penetrative sex toys such as dildos –
consider having a separate collection for each partner, covering them with
a new condom each time they are used, or washing them thoroughly in warm
soapy water between partners.
Lesbian serodiscordant couples should also follow these safer sex suggestions.
- Negotiating safe sex Practising safe sex is important
even if you don’t know whether your partner is HIV positive or not. It
protects you from HIV as well as other sexually transmissible infections.
- HIV is more easily transmitted when a person has
another sexually transmissible infection.
- Telling sexual partners about HIV is a complex issue.
Deciding when and how to tell will vary according to the relationship, the
situation and the people involved.
- In Australia, you don’t have to tell your sexual
partners about your HIV status. However, if you are a person living with
HIV, you do have a responsibility not to transmit the virus.
- In Victoria, it is an offence to knowingly or
recklessly infect another person with an infectious disease.
- NSW has specific legislation that requires that people
disclose their HIV status before having sex.
- Any person who recklessly endangers or inflicts harm on
another person may be charged under criminal law in all states and
territories. Some tips to consider Negotiating safe sex is not always
easy.
Here are a few tips that
may help.
- Have condoms handy if you think there is a possibility
that you will be having sex.
- Don’t assume that safe sex is the man’s responsibility.
Women can carry condoms too.
- Don’t assume that a man will feel confident about using
condoms. Learn about how they are used correctly so you can help. This can
be fun.
- Make it your business to find out about condoms.
Investigate colours and flavours.
- Find out where you can get condoms without
embarrassment.
- Try to negotiate safe sex before you get into the ‘heat
of the moment’. This is usually not the best time for debate and
discussion. Some things you could say Think up some statements that you
feel comfortable using,
For example:
- Where’s the condom?’
- Let’s have safe sex to protect both of us.
- I can roll the condom onto you with my mouth.’ Make
sure you can.
- To make sure I don’t get pregnant, I like to use
condoms.’ What to do if you are
exposed to body fluids If you are exposed to body fluids, you should wash the skin or area thoroughly with soap and water. - Don’t use a douche in the vagina or rectum as this can
irritate the area and increase the risk of HIV transmission.
See your doctor for further information and advice.
Post exposure prophylaxis
(PEP) is a month-long course of medication for people who have been exposed to
the HIV virus. To be most effective, it should be started within 72 hours of
exposure. It is best to start as early as possible after exposure. These drugs
can be toxic on the body with unpleasant side effects such as vomiting, nausea
and lethargy. PEP is not an alternative to safe sex. If you think you have been
exposed to HIV or think you need help, call 97869-1830(or mail us to consult.ur.dr@gmail.com
for proper guidance and counselling). This is a telephone service. Clothes,
bedding or other material can be washed in water and detergent or dry-cleaned.
Don’t share toothbrushes or razors. Everyday household contact doesn’t transmit
the HIV virus, but the intimacy of a sexual relationship means that lovers tend
to share personal items, which can be a risk. A serodiscordant couple should
avoid sharing toothbrushes, razors or any other personal item (including
injecting equipment) that could have come in contact with blood. Long term
relationships for serodiscordant couples Practising safe sex in long term
relationships is a challenge.
The term safe sex seems
to conjure up thoughts of condoms and not much else. It is normal for people
who are in a serodiscordant relationship to become frustrated and angry about
these limitations on their sexual expression. You might even think that it’s
not really worth it. Being honest with your partner about your feelings and
talking about every intimate detail will help to get you through. In any
relationship, communication is the key. For the positive person in the relationship,
issues can be different to those of the negative person. They have to live with
the knowledge that they can infect their partner with HIV. Could they live with
the guilt? What would everyone think of them? Would their partner still want
them? Sometimes these fears may need to be addressed by a professional
counsellor. It is helpful to remember these fears are occurring because the
partner cares. The negative person may have fears associated with getting HIV,
or of family or friends finding out about their partner and what their reaction
might be. Try to have fun Keeping the spontaneity in your relationship alive is
probably the hardest part to work at.
To help, you could:
Keep a condom handy in your pocket.
- Make your sex life as intimate and loving as you
possibly can.
- Remember that intimacy is not all about sex.
- Don’t forget to have fun – for example, massage can be
a wonderful avenue for both of you to explore.
- Your partner might hate wearing condoms. This can be
difficult to overcome and only
patience and honesty will get you through. - Learn to put on your partner’s condom and make light of
any awkward situation. Don’t take yourselves too seriously.
- It is important to remember that one night of passion
can lead to a lifetime of HIV. Talking to other people living with HIV
about these issues may be helpful. Straight Arrows and Positive Women are
community support organisations that have peer support workers.
