Safer Sex
Can you also contract STIs during anal sex? Yes, STIs can also be transmitted during anal sex. The skin in the intestine is much more sensitive than that of the vaginal walls and therefore more susceptible to small injuries and irritations.
Is transmission of sexually transmitted infections and HIV also possible if the man only penetrates the vagina for a very short time? Yes. Without a condom, even brief penetration of the penis into the vagina can lead to infection with sexually transmitted infections or HIV.
Can I get HIV from oral sex? During oral sex (sucking or licking the penis, vagina or anus), there is very little risk of HIV because the oral mucosa is very stable.
