Risk Behavior

•Substance Use

•Oral Sex


The most common ways HIV is transmitted in the United States is through anal or vaginal sex or sharing drug injection equipment with a person infected with HIV. The following steps can reduce your risk:

•Know your HIV status. Everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should be tested for HIV at least once. If you are at increased risk for HIV, you should be tested for HIV at least once a year.

•If you have HIV, you can get medical care, treatment, and supportive services to help you stay healthy and reduce your ability to transmit the virus to others.

•If you are pregnant and find that you have HIV, treatments are available to reduce the chance that your baby will have HIV. Locate an HIV testing site.

•Abstain from sexual activity or be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner.

•Limit your number of sex partners. The fewer partners you have, the less likely you are to encounter someone who is infected with HIV or another STD.

•Correct and consistent condom use. Latex condoms are highly effective at preventing transmission of HIV and some other sexually transmitted diseases. “Natural” or lambskin condoms do not provide sufficient protection against HIV infection.

•Get tested and treated for STDs and insist that your partners do too. Locate an STD testing site.

•Male circumcision has also been shown to reduce the risk of HIV transmission from women to men during vaginal sex.

•Do not inject drugs. If you inject drugs, you should get counseling and treatment to stop or reduce your drug use. If you cannot stop injecting drugs, use clean needles and works when injecting.

•Obtain medical treatment immediately if you think you were exposed to HIV. Sometimes, HIV medications can prevent infection if they are started quickly. This is called post-exposure prophylaxis.

•Participate in risk reduction programs. Programs exist to help people make healthy decisions, such as negotiating condom use or discussing HIV status. Your health department can refer you to programs in your area. Locate resources on substance abuse treatment.

Oral Sex and HIV Risk



Oral Sex Is Not Risk Free


Like all sexual activity, oral sex carries some risk of HIV transmission when one partner is known to be infected with HIV, when either partner’s HIV status is not known, and/or when one partner is not monogamous or injects drugs. Even though the risk of transmitting HIV through oral sex is much lower than that of anal or vaginal sex, numerous studies have demonstrated that oral sex can result in the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Abstaining from oral, anal, and vaginal sex altogether or having sex only with a mutually monogamous, uninfected partner are the only ways that individuals can be completely protected from the sexual transmission of HIV. However, by using condoms or other barriers between the mouth and genitals, individuals can reduce their risk of contracting HIV or another STD through oral sex.

Oral Sex is a Common Practice
Oral sex involves giving or receiving oral stimulation (i.e., sucking or licking) to the penis, the vagina, and/or the anus. Fellatio is the technical term used to describe oral contact with the penis. Cunnilingus is the technical term which describes oral contact with the vagina. Anilingus (sometimes called “rimming”) refers to oral-anal contact. Studies indicate that oral sex is commonly practiced by sexually active male-female and same-gender couples of various ages, including adolescents. Although there are only limited national data about how often adolescents engage in oral sex, some data suggest that many adolescents who engage in oral sex do not consider it to be “sex;” therefore they may use oral sex as an option to experience sex while still, in their minds, remaining abstinent. Moreover, many consider oral sex to be a safe or no-risk sexual practice. In a national survey of teens conducted for The Kaiser Family Foundation, 26% of sexually active 15- to 17-year-olds surveyed responded that one “cannot become infected with HIV by having unprotected oral sex,” and an additional 15% didn’t know whether or not one could become infected in that manner.

Oral Sex and the Risk of HIV Transmission
The risk of HIV transmission from an infected partner through oral sex is much less than the risk of HIV transmission from anal or vaginal sex. Measuring the exact risk of HIV transmission as a result of oral sex is very difficult. Additionally, because most sexually active individuals practice oral sex in addition to other forms of sex, such as vaginal and/or anal sex, when transmission occurs, it is difficult to determine whether or not it occurred as a result of oral sex or other more risky sexual activities. Finally, several co-factors may increase the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex, including: oral ulcers, bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other STDs. What is known is that HIV has been transmitted through fellatio, cunnilingus, and anilingus.

Other STDs Can Also Be Transmitted From Oral Sex
In addition to HIV, other STDs can be transmitted through oral sex with an infected partner. Examples of these STDs include herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, genital warts (HPV), intestinal parasites (amebiasis), and hepatitis A.

Oral Sex and Reducing the Risk of HIV Transmission
The consequences of HIV infection are life-long. If treatment is not initiated in a timely manner, HIV can be extremely serious and life threatening. However, there are steps you can take to lower the risk of getting HIV from oral sex.

Generally, the use of a physical barrier during oral sex can reduce the risk of transmission of HIV and other STDs. A latex or plastic condom may be used on the penis to reduce the risk of oral-penile transmission. If your partner is a female, a cut-open condom or a dental dam can be used between your mouth and the vagina. Similarly, regardless of the sex of your partner, if your mouth will come in contact with your partner’s anus, a cut-open condom or dental dam can be used between your mouth and the anus.

At least one scientific article has suggested that plastic food wrap may be used as a barrier to protect against herpes simplex virus during oral-vaginal or oral-anal sex. However, there are no data regarding the effectiveness of plastic food wrap in decreasing transmission of HIV and other STDs in this manner and it is not manufactured or approved by the FDA for this purpose.

Fast Facts

-Substance use and abuse are important factors in the spread of HIV.
-Alcohol and other drugs can lower a person’s inhibitions and create risk factors for HIV transmission.



Vulnerable populations (people living in poverty, those who are mentally ill, and those with a history of abuse) are more likely to have high rates of alcohol and substance use.
Substance use, abuse, and dependence been closely associated with HIV infection since the beginning of the epidemic. Although injection drug use (IDU) is a direct route of transmission, drinking, smoking, ingesting, or inhaling drugs such as alcohol, crack cocaine, methamphetamine (“meth”), and amyl nitrite (“poppers”) are also associated with increased risk for HIV infection. These substances may increase HIV risk by reducing users’ inhibitions to engage in risky sexual behavior.

Substance use and addiction are public health concerns for many reasons. In addition to increasing the risk of HIV transmission, substance use can affect people’s overall health and make them more susceptible to HIV infection and, in those already infected with HIV, substance use can hasten disease progression and negatively affect adherence to treatment.

Vulnerable Populations

•People who live in poverty. People who live in disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to have high rates of alcohol and illicit drug use.

•Gay and bisexual men. Alcohol and drug use among gay and bisexual men can be a reaction to homophobia, discrimination, or violence they experienced because of their sexual orientation and can contribute to other mental health problems. Compared with the general population, gay and bisexual men

◦Are more likely to use alcohol and drugs.

◦Are more likely to continue heavy drinking later in life.

◦Have higher rates of substance abuse.

•People with a mental illness. The coexistence of substance use and mental health disorders is common and is linked to poor impulse control and greater risk-taking and sensation-seeking behaviors.

•People with a history of abuse. People who have experienced sexual, physical, or emotional abuse are more likely to overuse drugs and alcohol and practice risky sexual behaviors.



Prevention Challenges

A number of factors contribute to the spread of HIV infection among substance users:

•Sexual risk factors. Substance use can decrease inhibitions and increase sexual risk factors for
HIV transmission, including not using a condom.

•Stigma and discrimination associated with substance use. Often, drug use is viewed as a criminal activity rather than a medical issue that requires counseling and rehabilitation. Stigma may prevent users from seeking HIV testing, care, and treatment.

•Differences among people who abuse drugs and alcohol. Racial, ethnic, and gender differences, as well as differences in geographic location (urban vs. rural, region of the country), access to drug and alcohol treatment and HIV testing and counseling, and socioeconomic and cultural issues should be considered when developing and implementing prevention programs.

•Complex health and social needs. People who use drugs often have other complex health and social needs, including a need for treatment for substance abuse and mental disorders. Comprehensive prevention strategies, including case management, are needed.

•Effects on HIV treatment adherence. Nonadherence can lead to medication-resistant viral strains. Because they fear dangerous side effects or dislike following a regimen that interrupts their drug-using activities, many HIV-infected substance users are less willing to start antiviral therapy than non–substance users, according to research.

Commonly Used Substances


Alcohol

Excessive alcohol consumption, notably binge drinking, is associated with multiple adverse health and social consequences and is sometimes linked to other drug use. Alcohol use can be an important risk factor for HIV infection because it is linked to less frequent use of condoms and to multiple sexual partners.

Crack Cocaine

Crack cocaine’s short-lived high and addictiveness can create a compulsive cycle in which users quickly exhaust their resources and turn to other ways to get the drug, including trading sex for drugs or money, which increases HIV infection risk. African Americans account for the majority of people who use crack cocaine.

Compared to nonusers, crack cocaine users reported

•A greater number of recent and lifetime sexual partners.
•Infrequent condom use.
•Heightened sexual pleasure.
•Using more than one substance.
•Being less responsive to HIV prevention programs, according to recent studies.




Methamphetamine

“Meth” use is associated with increased HIV risk and has become a public health threat in recent years because, like alcohol and other substances, it is linked to high-risk sexual activity with nonsteady partners under the influence. In addition,

•It is highly addictive and can be injected.
•It tends to dry out the skin on the penis and mucosal tissues in the anus and the vagina, which may lead to small tears and cuts during sex where the HIV can enter the body.
•Some gay and bisexual men combine meth with erectile dysfunction drugs that are also associated with unprotected anal sex.
The largest numbers of meth users are white males. According to one study, gay and bisexual men report using meth and other stimulants at rates approximately 9 times as high as the general population.

Inhalants

Like meth, use of amyl nitrite (“poppers”) has also been associated with increased HIV risk. Nitrite inhalants have long been linked to risky sexual behaviors, illegal drug use, and sexually transmitted infections among gay and bisexual men and have recently been linked to increased use among adolescents because inhalants:

•Enhance sexual pleasure.
•Aid anal sex by increasing sensitivity and relaxing the sphincter, which may lead to more unprotected sex.
•Are commonly found, even in household products.

Kinda funny but informative. For those who need visual representation....
 
Can't stress this enough


How to use condoms and lubricant

There are many kinds of sexual activities other than penetration, but if, as is often the case, someone wants to keep on having penetrative sex, either anally or vaginally, then learning to use condoms properly, and using them consistently, is the major step in adopting safer sex.

The main reason that condoms fail is because they are used incorrectly – they are torn during opening, oil-based lubricants are used, or they are put on incorrectly, for example.



How to use them


Step-by-step guide

- Open the packet carefully to avoid damaging the condom (jewellery, long fingernails or careless use
of teeth could tear it). The condom comes out rolled up forming a ring which will fit over the penis.
- Put the condom on when the penis is hard and before any kind of penetration begins.
- Check the condom is the right way up; you can test with a finger that it rolls out and down.
- Keep the penis completely free of grease and lubricant.
- Squeeze the closed end of the condom between the thumb and forefinger to expel the air. Air
bubbles can make condoms break.
- Hold the condom over the tip of the penis, and use your other hand to carefully unroll it down to the
base. It may help to stretch the condom width-ways in order to ease it down the penis and to ensure
that it remains in place once penetration begins. But be careful not to pierce the condom with your
fingernails when doing this.

- If you have a foreskin, pull it back before covering the head of the penis with the condom.
- Don't try to cover the testicles ('balls') with a condom.
- Smooth the condom to eliminate any air bubbles.
- Cover the outside of the condom with a water-based lubricant. Put lube inside your partner too.
- Use only water-based or silicone lubricants. Do NOT use anything oily like Vaseline, petroleum jelly,
cooking oils, butter, hand creams or body lotion.
- Some men withdraw occasionally, to check the condom and to add more lubricant.
- Never use two condoms at once. This is more likely to lead to breakage because of
rubber rubbing against rubber.
- If you lose your erection the condom may slip. This is the biggest single cause of condom failure. -
- Fingers held round the base of the condom will help it stay put.
- If the condom does break or slip off, withdraw as soon as you find out! Obviously you will need to use
a new one if this happens.
- A condom is more likely to break if sex lasts a long time, (longer than 45 minutes). Consider
changing the condom during a long sex session.
- After coming (ejaculation) withdraw the penis before it becomes soft (otherwise semen could leak out
of the condom). To prevent the condom slipping off your penis at this stage, hold it firmly round the
base as you withdraw.
- Throw used condoms away. Dispose of them thoughtfully, e.g. wrapped up in a tissue and then
thrown in the rubbish. They shouldn't be flushed down the toilet, since this may cause blockages in
sewage disposal.
- Never use a condom more than once.
- Never use the same condom on two people in succession.

This is a link to an interactive tool called Atlas. It's breaks down rates of infection for diseases such as HIV, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis etc. You can change the demographic parameters to reflect rates in your state and break it down by race and disease type. Enjoy!

Is this thread helpful at all? I don't see many questions. I still have more things to update, be patient.

Two weeks ago was my school's big party day/music festival and I consumed copious amounts of alcohol and took a solid bit of Molly. Brought a girl back and it took like 20 minutes for me to get hard and I was having so much trouble keeping it up. :smh: x :frown: Anyone ever have this issue? I haven't had sex since. I really hope it was just the combination of the drugs and alcohol and isn't a problem outside of that. It really sucks though 'cus the chick was very attractive and I couldn't even blame her if she wasn't trying to give me another chance.
