Question

AIDS is caused by a virus called HIV, which belongs to the family of human retroviruses and the subfamily of lentiviruses. Usually window period is three months. After three months of unprotected sex if its come negative than do not worry.
HIV is transmitted by unprotected sexual contact (homosexual & heterosexual), by blood or blood products, and by an infected mother to the fetus (intrapartum and perinatal).
Transmission of HIV can take place in the following modes: a. Through unprotected intimate sexual contact (involving vaginal, anal or oral intercourse i.e. Any exchange of body fluids)
b. Exposure to infected blood products (via. Transfusions) or needles (through injections, ear-piercing, tattooing, acupuncture etc.)
c. From an infected mother to her foetus during pregnancy or delivery
d. To the new born via breast-feeding by an infected mother (less chances)
e. During organ transplants or surgeries
f. By infected semen in cases of artificial insemination
It may take four to eight weeks from the day of contact to become HIV positive. From the time a person is infected with HIV, the incubation period may range from a few months to eight years or even longer, to manifest itself into full blown AIDS.
All sex activities and techniques that minimise the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases including AIDS are safe sex practices. Masturbation is one of the best and safest sex practices.
One may safely indulge in non-oral, non-anal and non-coital sexual practices such as fondling, stimulation of erogenous zones, sensate focus exercises, mutual or self masturbation, penetration alternatives such as intercourse between the thighs, inter mammary intercourse etc. An orgasm is an orgasm, and is equally satisfying by whatever means it is achieved.
