    Question

    Can you get pregnant if you have anal sex?

    Answer

    You cannot get pregnant if a male puts his penis into your anus. However, you can get sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, whenever there is fluid exchange with someone who has the disease or virus. It is important to use condoms for any kind of sex.
