SEX BETWEEN HIV+ PARTNERS: What Are The Options?

SEX BETWEEN HIV+ PARTNERS: What Are The Options?

Being Alive Newsletter, Being Alive/Los Angeles - May 1993
Charles R. Caulfield

The increasing prevalence of HIV infection has prompted many to wonder if unprotected sex between two individuals who are known to be HIV+ presents any greater risks than if these individuals had practiced safer sex. Because of the reemergence of increasing rates of all sexually transmitted diseases and because any and all systemic infections such as syphilis and gonorrhea can further weaken the immune system, having unsafe sex with multiple partners, even when all partners are HIV+, is not advisable.
