HIV : PREVENTION WHAT MEN <strong>SHOULD</strong> <strong>KNOW</strong> HEALTH 4 MEN VISIT H4M.MOBI IF yOU HAVE ANy qUESTION ABOUT yOUr SEXUAL HEALTH
CHANgINg yOUr BEHAVIOUr TO rEDUCE rISK Anal sex without a condom is very risky behaviour for becoming infected with HIV or giving it to somebody else. The risk of HIV transmission through anal sex is about 18 times higher than for vaginal sex. HERE ARE A fEW THINgS yOU cAN DO TO LOWER yOUR RISK: 1. Use a condom and water-based lubricant (lube) every time you have anal sex. If you are the bottom (receptive) partner, always insist that the top (penetrating) partner wears a condom and water-based lubricant. 2. Have sex with fewer men. Having sex with fewer men will lower your chances of getting or spreading HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). 3. Stop having sex if you (or your partner) have any symptoms of an STI, such as a sore, blister, rash or a wart on or around your penis or anus, or if there is a discharge (leaking) from your penis or anus. Go to your clinic or doctor and get treatment before you have sex again. The risk of getting infected with HIV is much higher for the bottom (receptive) partner than the top (penetrating) partner. This is because the bottom guy is more likely to get semen (cum) inside his anus, which is the easiest way to get HIV. If you are HIV-positive you must limit the risk of infecting a negative partner. In addition to using condoms and water-based lube, some guys living with HIV also use sero-sorting and sero-positioning. FOR DETAILS ON SERO-SORTING AND SERO-POSITIONING, VISIT H4M.MOBI ON YOUR CELL PHONE CONDOMS Love them or hate them, consistent use of condoms remains your best defence against HIV and other STIs. Condoms are effective because they prevent the exchange of sexual body fluids that might contain HIV: semen (cum) and blood. Even guys who are HIV-positive should use condoms every time they have sex to help prevent getting or spreading HIV and other STIs. Condoms & water-based lubricant belong together, just like fish & chips! USINg A MALE CONDOM For detailed instructions on how to use a male condom, visit h4m.mobi on your cell phone. Remember the following; • Guys who are bottom (anally penetrated) sometimes say the sex feels better without a condom. This is not true – the inside of the anus cannot feel a condom. • Never use more than one condom at the same time. • If you are having group sex (with more than one partner at the same time), use a fresh condom every time you penetrate a new partner to avoid spreading HIV and other STIs. USINg A FEMALE CONDOM FOr ANAL SEX Visit the h4m.mobi site to find out why using a female condom for anal sex feels so much better for many men. This is how to use a female condom for anal sex: 1. Check the use-by date and make sure the wrapping isn’t damaged, and remove the condom. Apply lots of lubricant to the bottom’s anus and to the top’s penis. The top pulls the female condom onto his erect (hard) penis, as if he’s pulling a sock onto his foot. 2. The top inserts the female condom into the bottom’s anus with his penis. The fixed large plastic ring will remain outside the bottom’s anus, preventing it from slipping inside. 3. After sex, the bottom must twist the condom (to avoid spilling the cum), pull the condom out, make a knot in it and throw it in the bin. 1 2 XHOSA TSWANA AfRIKAANS ENgLISH
