Bath

I was having a bath with a guy whose hiv status is not known. I masterbated him in teh tub and he ejacualted. We then had prtected sex. I am wondering if it is possible for the virus in the bath waterf rom his ejacualte to infect me as we sat in the tub for about 20 mins. Does this warrant testing.

Hi there,

Basing from this account given, you are not in any risk for HIV.

[dolly34]

Does water make the virus unable to infect?

[LIZZIE LOU]

hiv is transmitted thru:

unprotected vaginal or anal sex
sharing of iv drug works
mother to child

[ECN44120]

I dont know if water makes the virus unable (probably it does) but his semen needed to be in contact with your mucus membranes(inside your vagina or anus) and semen doesnt walk, netheir jump, netheir swim, so it wasnt a risk.

[dolly34]

It could though come in contact with the vagina as it is in the water.

[LIZZIE LOU]

wow...how old are you?????

does water go INTO your vagina when you take a bath?  it doesnt mine.

Either take what has been said here by knowledgeable, or start reading standard text on transmission and prevention, you need to improve your basic understanding.

Okay, thanks. I had a few sores on the outside of my vagina and this is what I am worried about as they were not completely healed. Not getting inside me. Sorry for the confusion.

[ECN44120]

Dolly I`m not a women, but water cannot get into your vagina when bathing, and by the way it wont be risk for a man netheir. like Lizie said hiv is trasmited thru

Having unprotected vaginal, anal or Oral Sex
Sharing intarvenous o hole bore needles
Vertical Trasnmission (Mother to child)

HIV IS NOT TRASMITED by shakin hands, using toilet, bathing in the same hot tub or pool, non penetrative sex, eating at Mcdonalds, playing sports, ect.

[ECN44120]

Semen diluited in water and there in contact with sores is not know as a way of transmision, move on. no test needed.

Okay, I am going to quit beating around the bushes, I was just trying to see if I could have infected my wife. She just dellivered a baby and has some trauma in her vaginal area. I masterbatd in the tub and drained teh water. She had a bath about 30mins later and I am worried there could have been traces of semen in the tub still that could have gotten into her vaginal area. I had a needlestick and have tested negative at just over 8 weeks but have to test out ot six months for some reason. OSHA.

[dolly34]

Sorry for not being honset upfront, just a little embarrased at revaling the total story.

[Teak]

Now I don't believe your story at all. You can tell your story to the clinic that's doing your testing.  

[dolly34]

Sorry Teak for beating around thebushes, this is the honest truth. Do you feel this is a risk to my wife? Is this why you think I should chat with the clinic? I am not going back there for four weeks for my three month test so I wont be able to chat to them until then.

Again sorry for not getting right to the point but I was a little embarassed to ask. Thanks for you help and I would apreciate your response and I am on my way

[LIZZIE LOU]

no wonder you didnt know about getting water into the vagina...geeeeeeeeeeeez.  why would you be embarrassed to ask a question?  we dont have a clue who you are.

you have your answer...move on!

[dolly34]

Thank Lizzie, I guess I have a bit to learn from teh femal anatomy :). So no risk to her then is the answer I guess. Just want to make sure as she is breast feeding. Thanks for the feedback and understanding.

[dolly34]

So this is no risk then? Just wondering as Teak told me to speak to the clinic, not sure why.

[Teak]

So the clinic could decide if the guys in white coats should come and haul you off or what.

[dolly34]

thanks for the humour teak. feel better now. Have a good night
