Emtricitabine does not decrease the risk of transmitting the HIV infection
to others through sexual contact or by contamination through blood. HIV may
be acquired from or spread to others through infected body fluids, including
blood, vaginal fluid, or semen. If you are infected, it is best to avoid any
sexual activity involving an exchange of body fluids with other people. If
you do have sex, always wear (or have your partner wear) a condom (“rubber”).
Only use condoms made of latex or polyurethane and use them every time you
have contact with semen, vaginal secretions, or blood. Also, do not share
needles or equipment with anyone or use dirty needles. If you have any questions
about this, check with your health care professional.
