No, however it is against the law to have sex or share needles without telling your partner that you are HIV positive. If you tell the person you are about to have sex or share needles with that you have HIV and they agree to continue with the activity, you are not breaking any laws.

Although the risk of infection during oral sex is considered lower than during vaginal or anal intercourse, HIV may be transmitted during oral sex through contact with vaginal secretions, semen, pre-ejaculation fluid, and blood.

It is possible to transmit HIV through oral sex. Contact with bodily fluids through open or broken membranes can the cause the body to be vulnerable to exposure.

Yes. It is possible to get HIV from anal sex. The lining of the anus is very thin and can easily tear. Any exchange of blood or semen can transmit HIV.

Yes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. Studies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently.

HIV can be spread through sexual intercourse, from male to male, male to female, female to male, and, in theory, from female to female. HIV is sexually transmitted, and HIV is not the only infection that is passed through intimate sexual contact. Other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and chlamydia, can also be contracted through anal, vaginal, and oral intercourse.

Yes, there are documented cases of HIV infection from oral sex with both men and women. Body fluids exchanged through sexual activity can enter cuts in the mouth and get into the bloodstream. Also, certain cells in the mucus lining of the mouth may carry HIV into the lymph nodes or bloodstream. Reduce the risk of HIV during oral sex by using a latex or polyurethane barrier such as a condom or dental dam.

Yes, it is possible for either sex partner to become infected with HIV during anal sex. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. In general, the person receiving the semen is at greater risk of getting HIV because the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow the virus to enter the body during anal sex.

Yes, it is possible for you to become infected with HIV through performing oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. Blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, and vaginal fluid all may contain the virus.

Yes, it is possible to become infected with HIV through vaginal intercourse. In fact, it is the most common way the virus is transmitted in much of the world. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. The lining of the vagina can tear and possibly allow HIV to enter the body. Direct absorption of HIV through the mucous membranes that line the vagina also is a possibility.

It is possible. Oral sex often involves semen, vaginal secretions, or blood -- fluids that contain HIV. HIV is transmitted by the introduction of infected semen, vaginal secretions, or blood into another person's body. During oral intercourse, the virus could enter the body through tiny cuts or sores in the mouth.

Even if you intend to practice safe sex, as an HIV positive person you are required by law (Public Health Act 1991 in NSW) to inform any person of your HIV status and other sexually transmissible infections (STIs), before having sex with them. When the other person has been informed of the risk, they can voluntarily agree to accept the risk.

Oral sex (one person kissing, licking or sucking the sexual areas of another person) does carry some risk of infection. If a person sucks the penis of an infected man, for example, infected fluid could get into the mouth. The virus could then get into the blood if you have bleeding gums or tiny sores somewhere in the mouth. The same is true if infected sexual fluids from a woman get into the mouth of her partner. But infection from oral sex alone seems to be very rare.

Yes, it is possible for you to become infected with HIV through performing oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. Blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, and vaginal fluid all may contain the virus.

Yes, it is possible for you to become infected with HIV through receiving oral sex. If your partner has HIV, blood from his or her mouth may enter the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis), the vagina, the anus, or directly into the body through small cuts or open sores. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex.

Direct absorption of HIV through the mucous membranes that line the vagina also is a possibility.

It is possible to transmit HIV to others even when the infected person is not ill. Sexual intercourse, oral-genital contact, and anal intercourse can transmit HIV. Condoms provide some, but not total protection. (Back)

HIV is also transmitted through needle sharing and perinatally (from mother to baby). Accidental needle sticks account for a small number of HIV cases. Blood transfusions are no longer a threat since screening for HIV is routine. Casual contact, drinking fountains, swimming pools, and insect bites do not transmit HIV.

If the sex offender is on probation or parole, he/she is being monitored by the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). They are given some general guidelines and ones specific to their cases. (See below.) There is a law that states sex offenders cannot live within 2000 feet of a school, daycare center or any place where children congregate. This law is has been challenged and is currently being decided in the courts.

Individuals assigned to provide sex education and HIV/STD instruction are selected locally and typically include regular classroom teachers, health education teachers, school nurses, and trainers from community-based organizations, such as the American Red Cross, Planned Parenthood, local health departments, and AIDS service agencies. The CDE receives a $325,000 grant from the CDC to provide limited statewide leadership for HIV/STD and teen pregnancy prevention.
