Can you contract AIDS or HIV virus from having bareback sex with a?
A man can become infected by having unprotected vaginal or anal sex with a woman if she is HIV positive and infectious. Vaginal fluid and anal mucousal secretions are HIV bearing. In other words, those fluids contain HIV. Blood is also HIV bearing. Sometimes when a man has vaginal or anal sex with a woman, small amounts of blood can be present. A man can be exposed when HIV-bearing fluid is rubbed into the inner lining of his foreskin or into the lining of the opening of his urethra. Female-to-male transmission of HIV is less likely than male-to-female, but it is not uncommon. If you have unprotected sex with multiple partners, you are taking a serious risk of infection. The more partners you have, the higher the risk becomes. It's important to remember, though, that any one sexual encounter could be the one that infects you. Condoms stop infection.
