Anyone can transmit and contract HIV, regardless of s*xuality or gender.
In the UK, the most common way for the virus to pass from one person to another is through having unprotected vaginal or a**l s*x.
If you’ve had s*x without a condom, or been having s*x with multiple partners, it’s worth getting tested. It’s important to remember that HIV takes a while to show up on STI screens, so testing more than every 13 weeks won’t give you an accurate picture.
