HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Hi Team, I was taking some breathe after you told this yesterday, I just woke up middle of the night since I had lot of sweat and my diarrhea still continues , do you think this might be herpes medication side effects...

I am just worried since these are symptoms of HIV

Thanks again Teak, this would be last question.

I am assuming she touched the bodily fluids and touched the condom since she went out for five minutes and started putting condom on me, so I was little frustrated later on that, what she would have done in 5 minutes

Teak · Answer

There is no way for her to contaminate a condom.

Thanks Teak, I was worried if the sex worker has contaminated it, but I do have chills and diarrhea, do you think this is nothing to do with this...

I am more worried since I carried herpes from her and I have been tested for positive for herpes, now I am worried about the chills and diarrhea.


Thanks for your quick reply
