Hello Doctors,
I always practice safe sex. I've never had sex without a condom. I've been tested before for all STIs and HIV... everything came back negative. However, recently I've found myself in need of new HIV testing from new encounters and worries. Here are my questions:
1. How well does HIV transmit through saliva? I've been told zero. The reason I ask is because I got a handjob and the girl used her spit as lubricant. If she is HIV+, how likely is HIV transmission? And what if there is blood in the saliva, does that increase the chance of transmission?
2. Mutual masturbation is considered safe sex, but if you get vaginal fluid on your hand and then masturbate yourself, doesn't that carry the HIV virus to you?
Do I need to get tested again? Should I be at all worried?
Thanks.
