Bleed during intercourse
Feb 9, 2008

Dear DOctor, Is it possible to get infected with HIV if the penis foreskin got torn and bleed abit during the process of sexual intercourse?

Thanks and Regards

Response from Dr. Wohl

Yes.

Trauma for obvious reasons increases the risk of acquiring HIV from an HIV-infected person.
