Oral sex on a man (fellatio) who is wearing a condom.
Oral sex on a woman (cunnilingus) with a latex barrier.
Anilingus (oral-anal sex) with a latex barrier.
Contact with urine ("golden showers" or "water sports" on unbroken skin).
If you participated in one of these acts, you are still practicing "safer" sex, but with no absolute guarantee of zero risk. Opt for an HIV-test to put your mind at rest, and try to avoid "Some Risk", "High Risk" and "Very High Risk" behaviours.

Some risk
These sexual acts are associated with some risk of HIV/Aids. They can be regarded as "fairly safe", but not without some risk:

Oral sex (on a man or woman) without a condom or latex barrier.
Vaginal penetration with a condom.
Anal penetrative sex with a condom. It is safer to withdraw before ejaculation.
Is this an accurate description of your sex life? Then you are at some risk of contracting HIV/Aids. Opt for an HIV-test to put your mind at rest, and try to avoid "High Risk" and "Very High Risk" behaviour.

High risk
Unfortunately, many sexual practices are associated with a high risk of HIV/Aids. These include:

Vaginal penetration without a condom
Swallowing semen
Sharing uncovered sex toys
Vaginal or oral penetrative sex with a condom if using a petroleum-based lubricant
Unprotected oral contact if blood is present
Unprotected manual-anal intercourse (fisting) without a latex glove
Unprotected manual-vaginal intercourse (fisting) without a latex glove
Contact with menstrual blood
Many people still don't realise that these practices are risky. They are. If you have been involved in any of these acts with anybody else than a very faithful partner, an HIV/Aids test is highly recommended. You may be one of the lucky ones and still be HIV-negative. You may not be. But even then, try to avoid "High Risk" behaviour in future: there is more than one HI-virus and there is no need to get them all. With good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, many people live with the virus for 15 years or longer.

Very High Risk
There is sexual behaviour associated with a very high risk of HIV/Aids. These include:

Anal penetrative sex without a condom.
Unprotected anal contact if blood is present
If this is a true description of your sexual behaviour, you are at an extremely high risk to contract HIV/Aids. A test to determine your HIV status is essential, as well as real changes to your sexual behavioural. Since there is more than one HI-virus, try to avoid "High Risk" and "Very High Risk" behaviour. With good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, many people live with the virus for 15 years or longer.
