As a woman, you are more likely to get HIV during vaginal sex when:
You are unaware of your partner's risk factors for HIV. Some men, for example, have sex with men as well as women but do not tell their female partners. Your male partner was recently infected. During this time, the amount of HIV in his semen is higher. Exposure during early infection may cause up to half of all HIV transmissions in the United States.
Your partners do not use male latex condoms or you do not use female condoms correctly every time you have sex.You have sex with multiple partners or have sex with someone who is having sex with multiple partners.Women who inject drugs or share needles Women who use injection drugs or share needles or syringes and other injection equipment are at high risk for HIV. In fact, sharing needles is the second most common way that HIV is spread. Use of injected drugs also raises your risk for risky behaviors, such as not using a condom during sex. In a study of U.S. cities with high levels of HIV, 72% of women who injected drugs reported having sex without a condom in the past year.
