Risk of HIV
Hi,
I am a single hetrosexual male and I am considering sleeping with a Transgender prostitute. (anal sex top and bottom along with oral sex). However, I have some anxiety issues around catching HIV. I am planning to use on-demand prep (2-1-1) as well as using a condom for anal (not Oral). My question is, what are the chances of me catching HIV by taking these 2 precautions? Would it be close to zero? My other question is, is it ok to take viagra while on Prep?
Thanks
Hi
. It is understandable and a good idea to seek out information for STI protection. I need to point out that we are not medical professionals and, for your safety, cannot give medical advice over the internet. I can share with you this article from our editorial team on differences in HIV transmission risk: https://h-i-v.net/transmission-risks. Note that the transmission risks listed are only estimates and cannot account for all the variables of an individual situation. I also want to share this article on PrEP facts: https://h-i-v.net/living/facts-prep. Concerning Viagra, I found this site which notes that "There are no known interactions between PrEP drugs and erectile dysfunction drugs such as sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis):" https://www.sfaf.org/collections/beta/prep-facts-introduction-faq/. A medical professional could provide further information and I should note that you would need a prescription from one for PrEP. Hope this information is helpful. Best, Richard (Team Member)
