If you’re not 100% sure of his HIV status, use condoms…
If he says he’s positive – you know where you stand and can make an informed decision about what sex to have. If he says he’s negative – he may not be. If he’s had unsafe sex since his last test he can’t be sure of his status. He could be HIV positive and not know it. If he says nothing, don’t just assume he’s the same status as you – he may not be. Unless you’re both 100% sure of your own as well as each other’s HIV status there is a risk of passing on or picking up HIV if you fuck without condoms. Condoms and lube are the surest way to prevent HIV being picked up or passed on. And they reduce the chances of other STIs too. If you’re going to fuck without condoms, make sure you’re 100% certain of his and your HIV status. Don’t just assume. ACON provides free safe packs of condom and lube in pubs, clubs and parties around NSW. Pick some up next time you’re out. For more info on HIV/AIDS and safe sex, check outwww.acon.org.au/health.
