Semen in eye

[jpg123]

I recently met a guy off the internet and i masterbated him until he came all over my hands. I briefly wiped my hands with a cloth  but my hands were still sticky and then 30secs - 2 mins later i rubbed my eye with my hand. My hand was probably still sticky but may have been starting to dry. How worried should i be about this event? Is my risk high and should i get tested? This happened about 8 weeks ago, if i get tested now will it(HIV) show up on the test.

Cheers

Welcome to our forum.  In preparing to answer your question I reviewed your prior interactions on the HIV Community site and came to two conclusions. First, you appear to be committed to safe sex- congratulations.  You can enhance this by asking partners if they have HIV before you have sex.   Most people will tell the truth.  Second is that you appear to be overly concerned about getting HIV and this may be based on mis-perceptions about how HIV is transmitted.  HIV is transmitted by penetrative ano-genital sex and introduction of contaminated material deep into tissue such as occurs with contaminated needles.  It is not transmitted by kissing (even deep kissing), touching, or surface contamination.  The exposure you describe above did not put you at risk for HIV either.  Thus, from a medical perspective, there is no need for testing.  If you need to test at this time for your peace of mind(as opposed to for a true risk), do so- the results will be definitive at this time, 8 weeks following the event.

Take care.  EWH

Cheers doc, I think I've developed a phobia about this. I really appreciate your feedback.

This sort of "what if" question is a waste of time.  HIV is not spread by utual masturbation, no matter how long it takes you to bathe.  EWH

Just one more question. If the guy cum onto my penis and some of his sperm got under my foreskin and I didn't wash for a few days(my hygiene leaves a lot to be desired) could HIV+ semen have stayed active and gone through my mucous membrane. Please don't ban me, this will be my last question EVER. I would appreciate an answer from the doctor in this instance. Thanks.

As Vance points out, whether or nto your partner had HIV is irrelevant. this was a no risk event and not something to worry about.  EWH

I understand but if you read what he wrote it doesn't matter if he was HIV+ or not.

Im just wondering whether the dr gives advice on the basis that he assumes the guy I had an encounter with was HIV + or that he was negative, or is it a low/no risk either way. I won't post again after this and I'm not meaning to be a nuisance I'm just worried.

Cheers

You have to pay to post a question to the Dr's.

jpg123...Read what Dr.Hook wrote, he already answered your question.

"The exposure you describe above did not put you at risk for HIV either.  Thus, from a medical perspective, there is no need for testing.  If you need to test at this time for your peace of mind(as opposed to for a true risk), do so- the results will be definitive at this time, 8 weeks following the event."

So assuming the the guy who cummed on my hands was positive its still a no risk event?
