The conclusions drawn by scientists returning from Africa are optimistic. However, there are always risks, and one must make one\’s own decisions about such sex, after hearing the opinions of experts, of course. Of course, only after one has heard the expert\’s opinion.
Statistics and research are two different things, and the third is a life that is largely dependent on fate; HIV no longer evokes the same emotions as it once did. Perhaps everyone in the world understands the seriousness of the problem, but years of careful analysis have made it possible to tame one of the deadliest diseases of the 20th century.
We are all concerned
that contracting HIV is easier than you think. It occurs when an infectious agent comes into contact with a place where the virus has a chance to enter the body. The routes of transmission are blood, semen, ejaculate, vaginal secretions, and mucous membranes or open wounds through which body fluids from an infected person can pass without difficulty. The most common routes of transmission are sexual intercourse without the use of condoms and the sharing of needles. Unfortunately, it can still be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation.
Fortunately, with advances in medical science, information about HIV infection is no longer a death sentence. However, a positive test result in one\’s partner can be frightening. Is it a platonic relationship with no meaning at all, or a dramatic end?
Destroy the bomb
In an entirely new and unpleasant situation, it is important to remember that knowledge is paramount. This will allow us to develop a formula that will reduce the risk of infection and not necessarily destroy the relationship.
According to foreign scientists, there are other options besides condoms that can lead to a normal life. In their opinion, the use of antiretroviral drugs is equally effective, and their effect is to reduce the concentration of the virus in the blood. Their study is optimistic because antiretroviral medications reduce the likelihood of infection by about 90%. However, according to the doctors, the safest form of contact with a sick person is intercourse that does not involve penetration. Therefore, they recommend sexual intercourse in which semen and blood do not come into contact with the mucous membranes. Therefore, there is no risk of the virus passing through the natural protective barrier of intact skin. However, if the entire sexual act is necessary, always use a condom that provides 90-95% protection.
