Playing with someone’s arse or vagina with your fingers is a low risk activity for passing on HIV. For more detailed information, check out our Oral Sex page.
Oral sex carries a very small risk for HIV transmission. HIV is not present in urine so watersports carry no risk of HIV transmission. The terms ‘watersports’ and ‘piss-play’ refer to sexual acts involving urine. Saliva does not transmit HIV meaning kissing is completely safe. However, hepatitis A and gut infections such as shigella are easily passed on this way. You cannot acquire or pass on HIV by rimming (licking or eating out someone’s arse). Massage and rubbing bodies against each other presents no risk of passing on HIV.
There are a number of sexual practices that present no or low risk for HIV transmission that you and a partners can enjoy.
