Introduction
This booklet provides information about looking after
yourself and having fun at the same time.
In New Zealand, the gay community has been the most
seriously affected by HIV. When the epidemic first hit in the
1980s, gay men made dramatic changes to their sexual
practices—especially by using condoms—to protect
themselves and their partners. These changes formed the
beginning of a safe sex culture.
Now, over 30 years later, we know a lot more about HIV,
including the ways in which it is transmitted. There are now
also new ways of reducing the risk of HIV transmission.
Although on average, several hundred people are
diagnosed with HIV every year in New Zealand (most of
which are gay men), with the new technologies at our
disposal there is now a real possibility that we can reduce
the number of gay men getting HIV every year and even
end transmission of HIV.

What is HIV?
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Since it was
first identified in the 1980s, HIV has become a worldwide
epidemic.
As it reproduces and multiplies inside the body, HIV attacks
and damages the cells of the body’s own immune system.
If a person’s immune system is severely damaged by the
virus, that person will develop Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome (AIDS). This means they are vulnerable to
infections and illnesses that their body could normally fight
off.

How is HIV passed on?


Only certain fluids from an HIV-infected person can
transmit HIV: blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-
cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids and breast milk. For
transmission to occur, these fluids must come in contact
with a mucous membrane, damaged tissue or directly enter
the bloodstream (e.g. from needles, syringes, and other
injecting equipment). Mucous membranes can be found
in parts of the body such as the rectum, the vagina, the
opening of the penis, and the mouth.
HIV is also present in saliva and tears, but not the amount
necessary to transmit the virus to another person. Neither
urine nor sweat contains HIV. You cannot get HIV from
kissing, or from coffee cups or toilet seats.

Seroconversion
When people first get infected with HIV they often get sick
with a flu-like illness as the body reacts to the virus.
4
This is called a seroconversion illness and it typically occurs
1-3 weeks after exposure to HIV. However, the symptoms
are often confused with symptoms of other viral infections
and therefore not recognised (by the person or their doctor)
as seroconversion. The only way to tell for sure if HIV
infection has occurred is to get an HIV test.
When someone has been recently infected with HIV they
are especially likely to pass on the virus to others—not
only because they may not realise they have HIV, but also
because the amount of HIV in their body is especially high
in the weeks following infection. If you believe you have
a seroconversion illness the first thing to do is have a HIV
test.

HIV treatments
There are drug treatments available to effectively slow
down the rate at which HIV multiplies in the body. HIV-
positive people take a combination of these drugs daily to
minimise the effects of HIV on the immune system.
For most people, HIV is a chronic manageable condition.
Recent research has found that for HIV-positive people who
start taking treatments relatively early (with a CD4 count
above 350 cells) life expectancy is on average the same (or
slightly higher) than in the general population.
In New Zealand, people with HIV must wait until their CD4
count dips below 500 or they show symptoms before they
can start treatment. However this policy is currently under
review with Pharmac.

Fucking
Most gay men (around three-quarters) engage in fucking as
either the top or bottom. For the bottom, pleasure comes
from stimulation of the sensitive nerve endings of the anus
when you are being fucked. The anus is just beyond the
sphincter (the circle of muscle that is the entrance to the
anus). The area beyond the anus is the rectum, which has
few nerve endings.
Pleasure also comes from having your prostate stimulated.
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland found in men only. It is
located alongside the rectum, where the base of your cock
ends inside you, directly below your bladder. It is sensitive
when touched from inside your arse (by a cock, or a finger
or toy): this can make orgasm more intense.

Fucking and HIV transmission


If you are HIV negative, being fucked without a condom
puts you at very high risk of HIV infection. Unlike the lining
of your throat and mouth (or vagina), the lining of your anus
and rectum isn’t tough. It can easily tear during fucking (or
when a sex toy or finger is inserted). Bacteria and viruses
can get enter the body though these tears. This is why anal
sex without a condom is an easy way for HIV and other
sexually transmissible infections to pass from one person to
another.
Also, unlike your mouth (or vagina), your arse doesn’t
lubricate itself. Using lots of water-based lube during
fucking will reduce the likelihood of tearing or abrasions of
your arse.

7
Douching increases the risk of HIV infection because it
removes the mucous lining of your arse. Also, using a
douche with a nozzle can cause tiny cuts. (See also page
21)
The number of times you engage in risky behaviour, your
risk of HIV transmission increases.

Pulling out
If you are HIV positive, then pulling your cock out before
cumming inside someone’s arse is not enough to protect
your partner from infection. He can still get infected from
HIV in your pre-cum, which can enter his bloodstream
through damage or cuts in the lining of his arse.

Top or tail?
If you are HIV negative you can’t pass on HIV even if you
cum inside someone’s arse.
However, if the guy you are fucking is HIV positive, you
can get the virus through the meatus (the opening of
your cock), through the cells on the inside surface of your
foreskin, if you are uncircumcised, or through any tiny cuts
or abrasions.
Although being fucked is more risky if you are HIV negative,
being the top does not mean you are protected from HIV.

Viral load
Viral load tests measure how much HIV is circulating in the
blood. HIV treatments can reduce the amount of virus to
levels that are too low for current tests to measure. This is
called ‘undetectable viral load’. This doesn’t mean the virus
has disappeared entirely.

8
Recent studies show HIV is much less likely to be passed
on when viral load is too low to be detected. Many
scientists now estimate HIV treatment to be as effective as
condom use in preventing transmission between couples
where one partner is HIV positive. However, these studies
of viral load and HIV transmission have focused on couples
in regular relationships, so it is not known to what extent
these findings apply to transmission between casual
partners.
The aim of treatment is to suppress viral load. In many
people, viral load will become undetectable. Others may
find they still have very low levels of detectable virus (i.e.
<400 copies per ml) but this level of virus is unlikely to have
a significant impact on their health or on the chance of
transmission to their partners.
There is a greater likelihood that an HIV-positive person
can pass on HIV in the first six months after starting
treatments. Also, STIs (sexually transmissible infections)
will also increase the risk of transmission. To minimise this
risk, regular testing for STIs is required; as is consistent
adherence to HIV treatments to achieve and maintain an
undetectable viral load.

Mixed messages
Many HIV-negative men think that someone who is HIV
positive will tell them before having sex or will always use
condoms. However, expecting people to disclose HIV
status is not always realistic, especially at cruising areas,
or in sex-on-site venues, where people rarely get to know
each other—or even talk—before having sex.

9
Many HIV-positive men think that anyone who is willing to
fuck without condoms must also be positive. This belief is
not true either.
A sex partner who does not suggest using condoms could
be:
• HIV negative and assuming that you are too; or
• HIV positive and assuming that you are too.
When there is no discussion, you cannot know what he’s
thinking.

Looking
You cannot tell by looking whether someone is HIV positive
or not. Most people with HIV look the same as they did
when they were HIV negative. Someone who is young,
healthy or attractive may still have HIV.

Asking
Talking about HIV is better than making assumptions.
However, there are still risks. If you are HIV negative,
looking for casual partners who are also HIV
negative so you can fuck without condoms is not a
very reliable way of avoiding HIV infection.
This is because he might be HIV positive and not know
it. (When was he last tested? Has he had sex without a
condom since then? With how many partners?)
If he has recently been infected his viral load is likely to be
very high. This means that fucking without condoms will
carry a high risk of HIV being passed on.

10
11
Can my boyfriend
and I fuck without
condoms?
If you are both HIV negative
If you are in a relationship with someone who is also
HIV negative and you want to stop using condoms, then
it’s possible to do this safely. However, if you and your
boyfriend start fucking without condoms it’s important that
you both get an HIV test first.
Communication with your partner is also very important.
Set some ground rules. If you are going to have sex with
other men, you will both need to agree either to always use
condoms with them, or not to have anal sex.
Go and both get an HIV test. Even if your test results
are negative, keep using
condoms until you have a
second test.

12
After six weeks, go and get tested again. If these second
tests also come back negative, and you’ve both had sex
only with condoms in the meantime, you can be certain
you’re both HIV negative. If you are both HIV negative you
can stop using condoms with each other.
You need to be sure that you and your partner are honest
with each other about sex outside the relationship. If one of
you does fuck without a condom with someone else, you
need to be able to discuss this as soon as it happens. Also,
you will have to start using condoms again with each other
until you have made sure that neither of you has become
infected with HIV. Things change over time so keep talking
to each other about whether you want to continue with this
kind of agreement. Change your agreement if either of you
can’t stick to the rules.

13
If you are both HIV positive
If you are in a relationship with someone who is also HIV
positive and you want to fuck without condoms there are
a number of issues you need to consider, such as other
STIs (sexually transmissible infections). Some STIs such
as syphilis have a more serious impact on people with
HIV. Also, hepatitis C virus can be passed on through sex
without condoms, and the chance of this happening is
increased if there is damage to the lining of the arse and/or
cock, which can occur through fisting, using sex toys, long-
lasting sessions, and rough sex. Sharing unwashed sex
toys and pots of lube is also a risk.
Make sure you get a regular sexual health check. Many
people find it convenient to do this at the same time they
have a blood test to monitor their viral load and CD4 cell
count. You should also be tested for syphilis and hepatitis
C.

If you have different HIV statuses


If you are in a relationship with someone who has a different
HIV status and you want to stop using condoms there are a
number of issues you need to consider.
There is now broad agreement among scientists that
HIV medications significantly reduce the risk of HIV
transmission and some people are now using this approach
instead of condoms. While no HIV prevention method is
completely safe, a number of factors will help to make this
approach as safe as possible.

14
The person with HIV must have had an undetectable viral
load for at least six months, they must regularly take their
HIV treatment as prescribed and attend regular check-
ups to monitor their viral load, and neither of you can have
another sexually transmissible infection.
Also think about other ways to reduce the risk of
transmission. These include the HIV-positive partner not
coming inside their partner’s arse and/or the HIV- positive
partner being the bottom while fucking.
A new prevention approach being trialled in New Zealand
in 2016 is called PrEP (see page 30). This involves the HIV-
negative person taking anti-HIV treatments and this may
help reduce the risk further, especially if the HIV-positive
person has a detectable viral load.
If you have sex with other people be clear about what you
will and won’t do with others and don’t confuse this with
what you will do with your partner. The best way to avoid
getting another STI is by using condoms.
Finally, the HIV-negative partner should have regular HIV
tests (every 3 months). If something does go wrong it’s
important to know about it as soon as possible so you can
take advantage of treatment and ensure you don’t pass on
the virus to others.

16
Sucking
Oral sex (sucking) is a very common sexual practice. It
is extremely pleasurable for the guy getting sucked off. If
you are not used to sucking it’s important to prevent your
teeth getting caught on his cock. You can do this by slightly
curling your lips around your teeth. Another problem is
gagging, which can happen when his cock hits the back of
your throat. This can be managed in a few ways: by timing
your breathing around his thrusting (i.e. breathe in when he
pulls his cock back); by gripping your hand around the shaft
of his cock to control the thrusting; and tilting your head
back to make a straighter line from your mouth to the back
of your throat.

Sucking and HIV


The risk of getting HIV through oral sex is extremely low,
even if you get cum in your mouth. However, a few men
have become infected with HIV after sucking off an HIV-
positive man. This happens because of cuts, sores or
ulcers in the mouth, gum disease, recent dental work or
another STI.

Tips:
• Keep your gums healthy: this will reduce the risk of HIV
transmission during oral sex.
• Get regular sexual health tests. An infection in your
throat increases the risk of HIV transmission.
• Avoid brushing or flossing your teeth within an hour or
so of oral sex—brushing and flossing can cause tiny
cuts to the gums.

17
Condoms
Condoms come in all shapes and sizes. They are usually
made of latex and you need to use water-based or silicon-
based lubricant with them when fucking.
If you are allergic to latex there are also condoms made of
polyurethane. Polyurethane is stronger and thinner than
latex and oil-based lubricants can be used with them.

Size
Make sure you have the right size for you. Condoms
generally come in Medium, Large and Extra Large.
Condoms should be tight enough not to crumple during
fucking but not so tight that they split.

Putting it on
• Check the ‘use by’ date on the condom wrapper.
• Rip the packet open. Take care not to tear or damage
the condom inside.
• Unroll the condom down the length of your cock. Make
sure you don’t have it inside out as this will make it
difficult to unroll.
• Apply plenty of water-based or silicon-based lubricant
to the outside of the condom (oil-based lube will weaken
the latex). Applying a little lube to the head of your
cock before putting the condom on can increase the
sensation during fucking.
• Make sure you put on a condom before any contact with
the arse. Rubbing the tip of the cock against the arse, or
pushing it inside slightly can lead to HIV being passed
on.
18
• Use a new condom for every partner.
• Check the condom regularly during sex to ensure it
hasn’t broken or come off.
• Change condoms every so often if you are fucking for
long periods of time.
• If a condom breaks there is a treatment called PEP that
may prevent HIV infection. (See page 22)

Taking it off
• Once you’ve come, hold the base of the condom with
your hand as you are pulling out so it doesn’t come off.
• Never re-use a condom after you’ve taken it off.
• Dispose of it thoughtfully!

Condom care
• Condoms have use-by dates because the latex weakens
over time. Throw out any that are past their use-by date.
• Carry or store condoms carefully: they can be damaged
or weakened from rubbing or crushing (in a wallet for
example) or if they are exposed to heat for too long.

Can’t keep it up?


Many men have trouble getting or keeping an erection
while putting on or using condoms. Erection difficulties are
experienced more often by older men and by HIV-positive
men. If this is a problem for you, discuss it with your doctor.
Sometimes it is caused by smoking or drinking too much.
There are specific treatments for erection difficulties.

19
Sex Play and HIV
Rimming
You cannot get or pass on HIV by rimming (licking out
someone’s arse). However hepatitis A and gut infections
such as shigella can be passed on this way.
Fingering
Playing with someone’s arse with your fingers is a low risk
activity for passing on HIV unless you have cum on your
fingers. It is important to keep your fingernails trimmed and
short so as not to cut the delicate wall of the anus. Wash
your hands well after fingering to prevent gut infections
being passed on.
Fisting
Fisting means inserting your fist in someone’s arse. Fists
can create serious cuts in the lining of the arse, which can
allow HIV to be passed on if the person being fisted is then
fucked without a condom, or if a finger or sex toy with cum
or blood on it is inserted in his arse. The person doing the
fisting could also get HIV if he has any cuts or scratches.
Latex gloves are important for protecting both participants.
Surgical gloves are best. Be sure to remove your watch and
any jewellery before fisting!
Toys
HIV can be transmitted from person-to-person via sex toys
such as dildos and buttplugs, if they are being shared.
Putting a condom on toys and changing the condom
before using it on a different person will prevent HIV being
passed on. Alternatively, you can wash sex toys thoroughly

20
with soap and hot water after each person. Sex toys that
are shared but not cleaned can also transmit other STIs
(sexually transmissible infections).
Douching
Douching is a way of cleaning your arse before being
fucked. This is done by inserting a tube into your arse and
flushing it with water. Douching increases the risk of HIV
infection because it removes the mucous lining of your
arse. Also, using a douche with a nozzle can cause tiny
cuts.
Piercing
Many men find body and genital piercings a turn-on. There
are a few things about piercings to be aware of:
• Genital piercings can cause tears and abrasions in the
anus during fucking.
• Be careful that piercings on the cock don’t tear the
condom.
• New piercings do occasionally get infected: if this
happens to your genital piercing, avoid sex until it has
healed.
Getting a piercing involves penetrating the skin with a
needle and so could pass on HIV or other STIs if the needle
is not adequately sterilised between piercings. Always use
a reputable professional piercer.
Party and play
Decisions about sex can be affected when you take
drugs, especially amphetamines such as crystal meth or
P, so remember your rules and stick to them. Also, if you
are injecting drugs, it’s important not to share injecting
equipment.
21
PEP
(Post-Exposure Prophylaxis)
PEP is treatment you can take if you have been exposed
to HIV. It may prevent you from becoming HIV positive. HIV
takes a few days to become established in the body. PEP
helps your body’s immune system to stop the virus from
replicating in infected cells. These originally infected cells
then die without producing new copies of the virus.
PEP treatment must start as soon as possible, and
definitely no later than 72 hours (3 days) after exposure to
HIV. The sooner treatment is started, the more likely it is to
work.
PEP is a month-long course of drugs. The drugs are the
same drugs that are used by people with HIV. They need to
be taken strictly according to their dosing schedules.
Sometimes drugs used for PEP have unpleasant side-
effects (e.g. nausea, diarrhoea) but these are temporary and
manageable.
PEP is available from some hospitals and clinics. To find
out where PEP is available call your local HIV Organisation
(page 32) or a sexual health clinic.
When you ask for PEP, the doctor or nurse will ask you
what happened to make you think you need it: they’re not
judging you, they simply need to know what happened so
they can determine how likely it is that you have actually
been exposed to HIV.
PEP is different from pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP),
which is when HIV-negative people take HIV treatments on
an ongoing basis to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV.

22
23
STIs
(Sexually Transmissible
Infections)
STIs (sexually transmissible infections) are viruses, bacteria
and parasites that are passed between people during sex.
Some infections, like syphilis, can cause serious damage to
your health if left untreated.
From the mid-1980s, when most gay men started using
condoms, the rate of other STIs such as syphilis and
gonorrhoea fell dramatically. As a result, many gay men
stopped getting regular sexual health checks apart from
HIV tests.
However, since the late-1990s the rate of STIs has been
increasing. Getting a sexual health check is easy and
painless, and most STIs are easily treated.
Not all STIs show symptoms, or they may be so mild that
you don’t notice them. So you could have an STI (and be
passing it on to your sex partners) without knowing it.

STIs and HIV


For HIV-negative men, having an STI increases the risk of
getting HIV because the cells of the immune system are
attracted to the site of STIs, and it is these cells that HIV
targets.
For HIV-positive men, STIs can increase levels of HIV in
cum, pre-cum and rectal fluids. This makes passing on HIV
more likely if you are fucking without a condom.

24
Also, an inflammatory STI (chlamydia or gonorrhoea) or
an ulcerative STI (herpes or syphilis) increases the risk of
passing on HIV because the virus is more concentrated at
the site of infections.
HIV-positive men need to be particularly careful about STIs.
This is because some STIs act differently in people with
HIV, HIV makes some STIs more difficult to treat, and some
STIs can accelerate the progress of HIV.

Getting tested
The more sex partners you have, the more often you should
get a sexual health check. All gay men should get a sexual
health check at least annually, even if you only have one
regular partner. You should get tested for HIV and STIs
more often if you have sex without condoms, or if you have
more than 10 sex partners in six months, or if you take part
in group sex, or if you use recreational drugs during sex.
An STI test can be done regardless of whether you have
symptoms. A rectal or throat swab will be taken to test
for chlamydia and gonorrhoea. A swab looks like a long
cotton bud. You will need to provide a urine sample to test
for chlamydia and gonorrhoea in the urethra (your cock).
A blood sample is taken to test for viruses including HIV,
hepatitis A, B and C, and for syphilis, which is a bacterial
infection. Your doctor should tell you what you are being
tested for. Test results will usually take a few days to come
back.

25
HIV Testing
What is an HIV test?
An HIV test is a test to find out if you’ve contracted Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The most common test
used for this purpose is the HIV antibody test. Antibodies
are the immune system’s response to HIV. Antibodies
develop a few weeks after exposure. The time between
being exposed to HIV and when a test can detect the
antibodies is called a ‘window period’. The window period
for laboratory tests is up to 6 weeks and for rapid tests up
to 12 weeks. During this period the accuracy of the result
cannot be guaranteed
A conventional test for HIV involves providing blood
drawn from a vein in your arm, which is then sent
to a laboratory for testing. If the test result
is positive, another test will be done to
confirm the result. If the result is
confirmed, it means that you

26
are HIV positive. Results take about one week.
A rapid HIV test is a newer kind of test that gives you a
result in less than 30 minutes. Most rapid HIV tests use
blood from a finger prick, while some use oral fluid. Some
rapid tests detect antibodies and antigens and other tests
are only for antibodies. A ‘reactive’ (or preliminary positive)
result on a rapid HIV test is not a diagnosis of HIV infection.
For this reason, a reactive rapid HIV test result needs to be
confirmed by conventional laboratory tests.

27
Buying tests online
There are various HIV tests available for purchase on the
internet and these vary in their quality. It is recommended
that you only use reputable, high-quality tests if you do
purchase online.

How often should I get tested?


All gay men who think they are HIV negative should be
tested for HIV at least once a year. More frequent testing is
recommended if you do any of the following:
• have any sex without condoms
• have more than 10 sexual partners in six months
• participate in group sex
• use recreational drugs during sex
Whenever you get tested for HIV you should also get tested
for other STIs.

28
Having the test
Before having the test you may need to have a face-to-face
discussion with your doctor or health care worker about the
following:
• What the test means including the implications of a
positive result or a negative result
• Your behaviour since your last test to determine how
likely it is you may have been exposed to HIV
• Your understanding of HIV, how it is transmitted and how
to protect yourself
• The support services available after you get your result
• The ‘window period’ of the test you are taking and if you
need to be retested.

Where to get tested?


Both Body Positive Inc. and the New Zealand AIDS
Foundation provide free rapid HIV testing at their offices
and various community sites.
Sexual health clinics also provide free HIV testing
throughout New Zealand.

29
PrEP
(Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis)
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is the term used to refer to
HIV-negative people taking HIV treatments on an ongoing
basis to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV. PrEP is different
from post-exposure prophylaxis, which is a 28-day course
of anti-HIV drugs taken after an exposure incident to
prevent infection (see page 22).
Large clinical trials have found that PrEP reduced infection
among gay men, heterosexual women and men, and
injecting drug users.
In these trials, people who were taking PrEP were much
less likely to get HIV than those who were taking the
placebo. In the large PrEP study involving gay men, a
follow-up analysis showed that among men who took the
pills every day, the risk of getting HIV was reduced by the
same amount as regular condom use.
Drugs for PrEP have not yet been approved by the
regulatory authority in New Zealand, and neither are the
drugs subsidised for this purpose through Pharmac.
From 2016, PrEP will became available in New Zealand in
a limited way through research projects. These projects
are investigating the acceptability of PrEP, as well as
the feasibility and impact of providing anti-HIV drugs for
prevention on an ongoing basis in New Zealand.
Some studies are currently underway looking at the
possibility of using PrEP less frequently (that is, not taking
the pills every single day) and only around times of sexual

30
activity. However, at the time of writing the final results of
these studies had not been released so the effectiveness of
these approaches is still unknown.
Most gay men use condoms with partners whose status
they don’t know, so are not at high risk of acquiring HIV.
However, there are some men who might benefit from PrEP,
either for a limited time or on an ongoing basis. These men
include those who have HIV-positive partners (especially
if the positive partner is not on anti-HIV drugs and/or has
a detectable viral load) and men who have receptive sex
without condoms with partners whose status they don’t
know.
