• Insertion of a shared sex toy, without a condom HIGH RISK
• Insertion of a shared sex toy, with a condom NEGLIGIBLE RISK *

** There is a possibility that the toy may not be cleaned properly.

This activity may cause trauma to the vaginal or rectal lining, making it easier for HIV transmission to occur later with unprotected penile intercourse.

Using sex toys (e.g. dildos, vibrators, Chinese balls, butt plugs, anal beads) and other objects can cause trauma to the mucosal lining of the rectum or vagina. The extent of trauma varies depending on the size of the device.
