Can giving/receiving anal sex transmit STDs?
I'm a guy and I had anal sex with my male friend. I gave and received is there a way for me to get an STD or anything else?
Come on, where have you been for the last 20+ years?? HIV can be transmitted via anal sex. Always use a condom. However, condoms can break, so I would recommend discussing STD's with your partner, getting tested together (and seeing each others results) before you have anal sex. Still use a condom anyway because sometimes HIV doesn't show up in the blood immediately after exposure. Be safe!
