Can you transmit the HIV virus if have had a vasectomy?

A person who has had a vasectomy cannot transmit the HIV virus through sperm during sexual intercourse because the sperm is blocked from being released during ejaculation. However, it's important to mention that a vasectomy does not provide protection against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. The main way to prevent the transmission of HIV is through consistent condom use and regular testing and treatment of STIs.
