Most people think that swinging lifestyle is one of the major reasons of the uncontrolled spread of HIV and AIDS. Hence, the community of swingers has challenged the claim very high risk of AIDS and HIV infection from unprotected sexual activities. However, this community also denies that swinging and STDs go hand in hand due to the sexual contact with multiple partners. There are hygiene concerns which should be taken care of or it is bound to spread germs.

 Even the swinging community accepts that swinging and STDs are very much connected but there are also strategies which help in avoiding any of these STDs.
