HIV / STD from strange experience
Hi,
I have a strange question but as I am a worrier and always prefer to stay as safe as poss want to know your thoughts.
Ok here is the weird one.....I went to the banana bar. This is a bar that has lap dances that are a little more "fruity". Basically as part of the act they slip an unpeald banana up there then slow bring top part out and start to peel - you basically eat the fruit and as they co to us to slip out more is peeled off to eat until all gone (weird way to get your 5 a day!)
I do have bleeding gums when I brush / eat foods so It is likely the gums were bleeding as I was eating the banana.
Should the bannan itself (the inside fruit) of touched her vagina and it had some vagina fluid on it would I be at any risk (any at all?). I have a partner so before we have unprotected sex again would you recommend testing?
Thank you
Dave

I would not say this is enough contact to transfer. However, it sounds like your sex life might warrant a periodic test. If you have never been tested it is probably a good time to start.
You also want to prevent transfer as you said, so cleaning up those gums will be a good start. Brush as often as you can and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash three times a day minimum to clear up and keep your gums in better shape. If this does not do it your dentist can give you a prescription of mouth rinse that can.

Disagree about testing. There is no reason to test periodically if you have one partner, and a banana doesn't count as cheating since it is impossible to catch HIV after it is in air as it is instantly inactivated so can't infect.
This is an HIV forum, so any dental issues should be discussed with your dentist. The dental hygiene suggestions might be the right thing to do but no one can diagnose you from here.

I agree with AnxiousNoMore. There is no need for testing if you do not have risky encounters.
