HIV Transmission <strong>and</strong> Men who Have Sex<br />

with Men (MSM)<br />

Example Responses:<br />

Thigh sex: No risk. Sperm does not get into the anus or<br />

mouth where it could get into the body <strong>and</strong> the<br />

bloodstream.<br />

Mutual masturbation: When MSM masturbate each<br />

other, the h<strong>and</strong>s may come into contact with sperm,<br />

but the sperm remains outside the body where it is<br />

exposed to air, <strong>and</strong> dies. There is no risk if there are<br />

no cuts or broken skin on the h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

Kissing: As long as there are no cuts or sores in the<br />

mouth, kissing is completely safe. The saliva of<br />

the infected person may get into the mouth but<br />

saliva has very low quantities of HIV.<br />

5. H<strong>and</strong> out copies of the QQR Information Sheet (at end of this exercise)<br />

<strong>and</strong> discuss. Then in pairs get participants to talk about what information in<br />

the Information Sheet would help them challenge wrong beliefs about HIV<br />

transmission.<br />
