STDs do not reduce the risk of getting HIV. In fact, STDs increase the risk of getting HIV. Any STD elicits an immune response. Its almost like ringing the dinner bell for HIV.

If you swallow semen from a man with a sexually transmitted disease (STD), there is a risk of transmission depending on the specific STD and the circumstances. Infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV can potentially be transmitted through oral sex and exposure to infected bodily fluids. It's important to seek medical advice and consider testing if you've had potential exposure to an STD. Practicing safe sex can help reduce the risk of transmission.
Engaging in unprotected sex, having multiple sexual partners, or sharing needles significantly increases the risk of contracting an STD.
