Some new snippets of research has shown that using the erectile dysfunction medicines called Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis and Levitra) does not increase the likelihood getting HIV.  Previously it was thought that their was a clear link between the use of the impotence drugs and the immune disease.

The research was done by the National Institutes of Health, which funded a conference to look into the whether a link could be shown between the use of PDE-5 inhibitors and HIV infections. The scientists and experts concluded that there was no clear evidence to establish a connection between the two as most men who used these impotence drugs were happily committed to their wives and partners.

The researchers nevertheless did point out that practicing safe sex was very important when having casual sex and using PDE-5 inhibitors.  The researchers said that Viagra, Cialis and Levitra should not be used for performance enhancement and that they should only be adminitered to help men who had a problem. It is important to note that some of the men who use erectile dysfunction drugs have an impotence problem from the HIV in the first place and not because that have indulged in risky sexual practices as a result of taking the drugs.

Men who indulge in promiscuous sex often make use of Viagra or other erectile dysfunction drugs in order to boost their performance and this is why some people feel that the drugs were spreading the HIV, but no clear evidence can be found that this is the case and so until some facts do come along we can safely say that there is no proven link between the two.

Ukmedix urges people to practice safe sex and to be responsible with all erectile dysfunction drugs and to remember that they are all serious medications to be used with care.
