Response from Dr. Lee
 You are taking very serious risks by not using condoms when having intercourse with an HIV infected man. The virus is located, often in greater numbers, in semen and not just in blood. As you know, the tubal ligation does not change anything about his semen, including how much virus might be in it. Therefore, a tubal ligation does not reduce your risk in any way. Also, most men have leakage of semen before they ejaculate, so if he pulls out there may still be enough virus in the semen left in your vagina to cause infection with HIV. BE CAREFUL! USE CONDOMS! Be Well. |
