Frequently asked question: When is there a risk of HIV transmission during sexual contact?

  • There is a risk of HIV transmission through unsafe anal, vaginal or oral sex without a condom or dental dam. Unsafe oral sex means when sperm or blood, for example menstrual blood, enters the other person's mouth.
  • There is a risk of HIV transmission in the event of an accident with a condom, for example, if it splits or comes off.
