Anxiety & HIV

[saravana1605]

Hi

This is my situation. I never had sex with anyone or share drugs. I masturbate myself and wipe my sperm on a piece of cloth (shirt). I keep using the shirt without washing for several weeks , maybe 8-9 weeks. I curious that can this cause HIV on me ?  Although many experts and doctors told me that i am not at risk , but i can't accept that. Over 2 year i am suffering in this anxiety. I always look for symptoms on my body. I got feet tingling and rash. Please help me?

AM I AT RISK OF GETTING HIV?

AM I NEED TO BE GET CHECKED CAUSE OF THIS ?

WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE I GET INFECTED ?

Ok I have looked at some of your post in other rooms, either you are some KID messing around and really need to get a life and psych help! if this is not the case, you tell me anyway you can get HIV from masterbating yourself and why would you not clean whatever you use? I am sorry but I find it hard to believe in 2009, that this kind of question is not coming from some LOnely , really lonely person,, again if this is not the case. EDUCATE YOURSELF ON HIV! see a dr. I would ask if your going to ask a question like this you tell us alittle bit more about yourself, and again if your some kid playing around, this is not the forum and I would ask you really look in the mirror and see how pathetic you are, again if this is a legit question then EDUCATE YOURSELF ON HIV! PERIOD! I am sorry but I can not see how anyone can ask if they have HIV from your own sperm!

Ok, to start off with iam going to go on the understanding that you are refering to the dangeriously infectious HIV ( Human immunodeficiency virus ). And that you are serious in what you are saying

"Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells."

As far as i know you cannot just "infect" yourself by using a dirty jack off rag. so long as you stay safe with sex and don't share drugs your good to go. One thing i would recommend however is using tissue if you masturbate, as using a dirty rag and not washing it for weeks at a time its not the most hygienic thing to be doing.

I will say again, iam 100% SURE you are not in danger of being infected with HIV. listen to the experts and doctors they generally know whats best.
And as far as rashes and so forth, that kind of things is common and you can get prescriptions from your doctor for that.
