HIV and other STDs can impact upon each other. The presence of STDs in an HIV infected person can increase the risk of HIV transmission. This can be through a genital ulcer which could bleed or through genital discharge. If an HIV negative person has an STD, it can also increase their risk of being infected with HIV. This is whether the STD causes breaks in the skin (ie: syphilis or herpes) or through the infection stimulating an immune response in the genital area and thus making HIV transmission more likely (ie: chlamydia or gonorrhoea). HIV transmission however is more likely in those with ulcerative STDs than non-ulcerative. Using condoms during sex is the best way to prevent the sexual transmission of diseases, including HIV. AVERT.org has more information on STDs.

People already infected with STD, have a higher risk of contracting HIV if they have unprotected sex. This risk is greater if the STD causes open genital sores, as these wounds provide a break in the skin which enables the HIV infection to enter the blood stream. STDs that can cause genital ulcers include genital herpes, syphilis, chancre, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and scabies etc. There are as many as 12 different forms of STDs.

An HIV negative person who has an STD can be at increased risk of becoming infected with HIV through sex. This can happen if the STD causes ulceration or breaks in the skin (e.g. syphilis or herpes), or if it stimulates an immune response in the genital area (e.g. chlamydia or gonorrhoea). HIV transmission is more likely in those with ulcerative STDs than non-ulcerative.
