After having sex with a HIV+ person does the HIV+ virus actually swim up the urethra to infect the person ? |
If a person(male)does not have have any broken skin or cuts on penis does it reduce the risk of infection ? 1. Viruses are far too small to adjust their behavior in such a way as could be construed as "swimming up the urethra." They move about pretty much randomly; it's far more accurate to say that some of the viruses "wander" up the urethra. HIV is transmitted through body fluids. (ex: blood, semen) All Viruses and Bacteria can be contracted from it's host to any portal of entry ie: mouth, ears, nose, urethra, vaginal, rectum, open cuts and lesions. It doesn't swim up the urethra, but as you ejaculate, and you know how it happens in "spurts" you can pull vagina fluid up the urethra. it actually rides a horse. What if sores are not broken ? Generally, HIV needs to get into somebody's body in order to infect them. It cannot swim. However, it can get through skin if it has abrasions or cuts, or, it can be absorbed into the body like through the colon. |
