Unprotected Sexual Intercourse

 Unprotected Sex means having vaginal, anal, or oral sex without a condom. It makes you more likely to get HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Bodily fluids like blood and semen pass from you to your partner during sex. So if your partner has HIV or another STD, even if they don’t know it, they can pass the virus or infection to you. Use a condom every time. This will reduce your chance of getting certain STDs. You still can get herpes or human papillomavirus (HPV) from your partner, even if you use a condom. But unless you never have sex, or you’re 100% sure that your partner only has sex with you and doesn’t have an STD, condoms are your best option. PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is when people at risk of contracting HIV through sex or injection drug use take a preventive medication (not including people at risk of contracting HIV through receptive vaginal sex) There are two prescription drugs that are approved for daily use as PrEP.  You’re more likely to get HIV or another STD when you have more than one sex partner, or many sex partners during your lifetime. That’s because more people mean more chances that one or more of them will have HIV or an infection. Ever heard the saying that when you have sex with someone, you’re having sex with everyone they’ve ever had sex with?
