Anal Sex

Anal sex is common among both men and women. For many people the anus and surrounding
 areas are very sensitive and sexually arousing. Some people can experience orgasm from anal penetration.

The anus may be stimulated or penetrated with a finger, penis, tongue or sex toy. However, since the anus does not lubricate itself when stimulated (like a vagina does) any form of anal penetration requires lubrication. Never insert an object with sharp edges or jagged points into the anus which could cause small cuts or tears. Rather use commercially available toys such as a dildo. Importantly, make sure that any toys you use for anal penetration have a ‘base’ or a ‘foot’ to prevent the toy slipping in too deep and making withdrawl difficult. Start small. Never try to insert an object that causes discomfort or pain. Never insert any glass object into your anus. Wash all sex toys thoroughly with dishwashing liquid and warm water.

Gonorrhoea & Chlamydia

Gonorrhoea and chlamydia are sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They are easily spread through anal sex without a condom and oral sex, and are common among gay and bi- sexual men. They are also known as drop.

You can get gonorrhoea or chlamydia in your throat (from sucking an infected cock), in your anus (from being penetrated by an infected top without a condom) or in your penis (from penetrating an infected bottom without a condom). You can also get them from a partner even if he doesn’t cum in your mouth or anus. Men who also have sex with women can get gonorrhoea or chlamydia from vaginal sex.

Having gonorrhoea or chlamydia makes it easier for you to get HIV, or to spread HIV to your partner if you are HIV positive.

Disclosure

Whether Or Not To Disclose

This is a difficult decision to make because disclosure (telling others about your HIV status) can have significant consequences. Consider the benefits as well as the possible negative consequences that disclosure may have for you as an individual.

Disclosure can help you to accept your own HIV positive status and can also help you to access the medical services, care and support that you need. Openness about your HIV positive status may make it easier to negotiate responsible sex and to prevent others being infected.

Disclosure can cause problems in relationships (with your spouse, partner or lover, family members or friends) and some people may judge you. It can be especially challenging to disclose your status to someone you’ve previously had condomless sex with. They may need to undergo an HIV test themselves.
