Can Women Transmit HIV S*xually to Men?
Yes. People with vaginas CAN & do transmit HIV to people w pen*ses―though the risk is low.
It is important to note that biology is not enough to prevent HIV transmissions. TheBody does a deep dive on how and why HIV transmissions occur, and what people can do to protect their health.
The answers are:
1. If you're living with HIV, stay in treatment with ART and try to get to undetectable ( ).
2. If you're seronegative, use PrEP.
3. Use condoms.
4. Maintain your overall health and get tested. And if you test positive for another STI, get treated.
The risk of HIV from vaginal s*x is lower than a**l s*x, but still present. Use condoms and PrEP, and ensure HIV-positive partners use ART.
