In Order to Prevent Aids, Please Help... Posted: 07-19-04 21:36pm
Helllo ... I was wondering ... How long
after having unprotected sex with someone
should you have to wait before its safe to
have unprotected sex with someone else who
you trust?
For example if I broke up with my long
time bf and now I am wanting to start a
new serious relationship with a new bf.
(i know the best answer is dont have
unprotected sex ... But please give me
answers besides that)
thanks

If you have something that can be spread
to someone else, it won't matter how long
you wait. It'll be spread no matter what.
The only thing you can really do if
you're sure the unprotected sex thing is
what you want to do, is go get tested for
std's, sti's and all that fun stuff. Just
so you know what you're dealing with, if
anything. In reality both of you should
get tested, just to be extra cautious.

Aids will sometimes not show up on a blood
test for 6 months, why wouldn't you want
to have protected sex?
Sincerely,

No I am not saying I think I have aids or
that I have aids ... But I want to know
how long I should wait (time period)
before having unprotected sex with a
new/different person to prevent from
getting a disease .... Or does it not
have anything to do with time? But if it
doesnt have anything to do with time
between having unprotected sex with 2 diff
people, then how does aids start in the
first place? Do u understand what I mean?
I hope.
Thanks

How Long to Wait? Posted: 07-28-04 04:40am
Realize even if you have caught hiv from
your last boyfriend, it is quite unlikely
you will pass it to your new boyfriend
unless you have risky sex or lots and
lots of regular sex. So avoid rough sex,
anal intercourse and prolonged
sex when you have any soreness or
irritation. Actually it would be good to
avoid prolonged or repeated sexual acts,
anyway. Take it easy.
Expect your new partner to also
participate in good sexual hygiene.
In particular, if he is not circumcised,
he is at greater risk of being infected by
hiv/aids.
Oral sex is relatively safe sex, provided
you don't have bleeding gums.
I would suggest taking the hiv/aids test
right away and repeating every 3 months
until you are certain you are in a
committed relationship.
