Easy transfer of HIV to STI


 
Treatment for HIV keeps the multiplication of the virus under control. It has no effect on other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These STIs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi etc. None of these is affected by the treatment given for HIV. People with HIV are equally susceptible to contracting other STIs, even if they are on treatment for HIV. In fact, some of these individuals may be more susceptible because they may practice high risk sexual behaviour.
