Is it safe to have sex during your menstrual period?

feminine productsIt depends what you mean by “safe”. It isn’t dangerous to have sex while you have your period — you won’t hurt your body, BUT, although unlikely, it’s still possible to get pregnant.

What’s really important is to practice SAFE sex ANYTIME you have it, especially when you’re on your period. Women are much more likely to get a sexually transmitted infection including HIV if they have sex with an infected partner during their period.
