Sexual activities & the Risks

Rimming

Rimming involves oral contact around the anus. To reduce the chance of infection, good anal hygiene before sex and good oral hygiene after sex is vital. Although poo doesn't normally contain HIV, it does contain a large range of other organisms.

Using a barrier like a dental dam to prevent poo from getting into your mouth can protect you from a range of intestinal parasites and hepatitis A.
