Masturbation is included in normal and healthy sexual activities with few side effects. Masturbation is done for various reasons, ranging from seeking pleasure to releasing tension. Even so, some people still wonder if masturbation is safe and is HIV including the masturbation effect to worry about?
Overview of masturbation
Masturbation is an activity carried out to arouse sexual desire by touching and giving stimulation to the genitals. Both men and women both can masturbate. Masturbation can also be done alone or together with a partner by stimulating each other.
Can masturbation cause HIV?
The effect of masturbation, whether done alone or with a partner, is equally safe. Including if you or your partner is tested positive for HIV. Masturbation is not harmful, does not reduce one's sexual desire, does not reduce the number of sperm and eggs, and also does not cause venereal disease and sexually transmitted diseases, in this case including HIV / AIDS.
Don't worry if you and your partner have both masturbated together and one of them has HIV. Because, this is very safe to do as long as there is no exchange of body fluids infected with HIV such as semen, vaginal fluid, pus, and others. Whereas if you masturbate alone, you will not get HIV from anything.
In addition, masturbation is also safe if HIV-infected fluids are not exposed to direct contact with open wounds that you have. So, if you only hit your hand (which has no injury), you will not get it.
You are at risk of getting HIV through masturbation with a partneronly if fluid and blood exchange occurs with an infected person. For example, touching your partner's genitals with hands full of infected semen or vaginal fluid.
Transmission can also occur if you and your partner who are infected with HIV masturbate together and use direct sex toys alternately (in conditions sex the toy is still wet) without first washing. However, this case is very rare. The reason is, HIV germs can die outside the human body aka on the surface of inanimate objects.
As long as you can avoid this, don't worry about the effects of masturbation that will occur. Precisely masturbation together together become safe sex variants that you and your partner can apply if one of them has HIV. So don't be afraid to do so as long as you and your partner get sexual satisfaction from this activity.
Transmission of HIV other than through masturbation
HIV or the Human Immunodeficiency Virus is basically not easily spread. You can get HIV if there is an exchange of fluids and blood between people affected by HIV to healthy people. You also cannot get HIV from mosquito bites, lend to each other, swim in the same pool as people who are HIV, or are next to people with HIV who cough or sneeze.
To be able to infect someone, the HIV virus must pass through the defenses of one's body, namely the skin and saliva. If your skin is not experiencing open wounds, the virus cannot enter only by sticking to healthy skin. Saliva also contains substances that can help kill HIV in your mouth.
HIV can also be transmitted from HIV-infected mothers to their children (vertical transmission), namely during pregnancy, labor (especially if normal labor), and while breastfeeding breast milk.
Therefore, the effects of masturbation on HIV transmission need not be worried as long as there is no fluid and blood exchange.
