anal fissures and hiv/aids transmission


anal fissures and hiv/aids transmission?
this might be considered a stupid question but is the risk for contracting aids or hiv higher if the person receiving anal intercourse has anal fissures? i am a homosexual male dealing with painful fissures and i have not yet had anal intercourse, but i plan to someday. i am also wanting to be as safe as possible and planning to use condoms, but i know they are not 100% effective in preventing diseases. has anyone ever dealt with this situation or does anyone know a non-surgical cure for anal fissures? any help would be appreciated!

YES! It is already a very high risk activity but with fissures it is even higher. the fissures will give the virus an even easier passage way within the body, or allow an easier passage for the virus to leave the body. good luck and remember... safer may not always be the most fun, but it is the best way. just be careful when selecting your partner(s). A lot of people, hetero and homosexual, have STDs.

That's nuts. You need to not worry about aids, but get yourself fixed first. It's like saying, I got a broken arm and I was wondering if I start doing handstands if it will throw off my tennis game. Get it cured and healed long before... even if it is surgery.

Yes, you are at a 100% high risk with anal fissures or hemmorhides, fistuleas. These are all open lesions that will be an incubation point for HIV's or any other STD's. I don't condone your position in life but, your there! so, at least your both honest, and forward, in your attitude instead of being in denial and getting someone into trouble with STD's. If you insist this is part of your lifestyle and, you intend to continue your lifestyle then, I would highly reccomend you see your health provider and, get an opinion as to surgery to remove these hemmorhides, or, help in the healing process so the infection rate is low. Also, you are correct in assuming HIV's and AID's are a risk even with a condom. I think the probablities are 99% with a condom being safe. It's the 1% that you have to worry about.
