hat are my chances of becoming infected with HIV/STI?
Your chance of becoming infected depends entirely on what behavior you adopt. You can only become infected with HIV if you engage in risky activities. Risky activities include having unprotected sex (or sex without a condom), having sex multiple partners (or sex with number of different sexual partners), sharing needles or syringes with several other drug users, transfusion of contaminated blood, indulging in sexual acts under the influence of drugs or alcohol (least likely to have safer sex when ‘high’). By engaging in any of these behaviors, you increase your chances of coming into contact with someone infected with HIV/STI and transmitting the infection to you.
