Is it safe to have sex on my period?

It is safe to have sex on your period! However, keep in mind that you may be at risk of contracting HIV or STIs that are transmitted by blood, so make sure you are using protection. Also, don't forget that it's still possible to get pregnant while on your period so, again, protection is key here!
Yes, you can have sex when you're on your period. There are a few risks associated with having sex while you or your partner are on their period. HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) may be passed on more easily, so you should always use a condom. Also, while more unlikely, it's still possible to get pregnant if you have unprotected sex during your period. This is because some menstruators ovulate early, and sperm can survive inside of their body for up to 7 days.
