Men At Risk
 
STD'sResources
are you playing safe?

Triad Health Project's Men at Risk outreach program seeks to control the transmission and spread of HIV and other STDs among men who have sex with men. Risk reduction and community intervention programs are based on individual and group strategies, promoting healthier choices and safer sex practices.

Where can I find condoms in the Triad?

 he says:

You can't feel anything through a condom.

you reply:

It sure feels better than sleeping alone. It will feel great when I put it on you.

  he says:

I usually have safer sex, but let's skip it just this once.

you reply:

Practice makes perfect. 
No Glove, No Love!

  he says:

Trust me.  I'm safe.

you reply:

Good.  Let's keep it that way.  I want to be safe because I care about you.

Oral sex isn't the riskiest activity.  But it's not 100% safe either.   It's up to you to decide what your limits are and what's safe enough for you. Oral sex is significantly less risky than unprotected sex.

Using a condom for oral sex is the safest.  A little flavored lubricant or honey (or any food without oils) can spice things up.

Oral sex is safer without ejaculation. But pre-cum contains HIV, too.

Be aware of the state of your mouth. Bleeding gums or cuts can increase the risk of infection.

In the absence of blood and open sores, rimming (oral-anal contact) is not very risky for HIV.  But you can get hepatitis, gonorrhea or other sexually transmitted diseases.

Learn to be comfortable talking about sex.  Practice with your friends.  Rehearse and plan ahead.  Then have that discussion early on while you're calm.  Don't wait until you're naked.
